Exercising with your own body weight
active mile & Calisthenics

On the scenic route between Ehrwald and Lermoos, you’ll find 19 fitness stations and a full calisthenics park. Whether you’re into strength exercises, balance challenges, or monkey-bar circuits, you can train at your own pace while enjoying stunning mountain views. Just stop by, explore the stations, and feel the fresh alpine breeze!

19 stations and 1 calisthenics facility

This is what the Active Mile looks like

On a total of 19 stations and a calisthenics facility, the entire body can be trained on our active mile on the Panoramaweg in Moos. The Active Mile was designed by a fitness trainer and calisthenics expert from the Austrian Ski Association. Each station is marked with a sign so that you know how to use the equipment. The advantage: the Active Mile is really suitable for everyone. The exercises can be completed according to your personal fitness level. Fresh air and a magnificent view are an added bonus.

Route

From the Panorama Trail into the Moos

Begin at the fish hatchery in Lermoos. Station 1 is located at the railway crossing. Continue along the railway service path toward Reutte, where you’ll find stations 2 and 3. Follow the Panorama Trail toward Ehrwald to reach stations 4 through 18. At the railway viaduct in Ehrwald, switch to the running path that leads to the calisthenics park. Here, in addition to the training equipment, you’ll find recovery areas with benches, loungers, and a restroom. Return to the starting point along the Lussbach stream.

The calisthenics park is also accessible from Ehrwald and Biberwier via the moor trails. Alternatively, you can begin in Ehrwald (starting at the viaduct) and follow the route in the opposite direction.

What does “calisthenics” actually mean?

from the Greeks via New York to us

Calisthenics comes from the Greek and means “beautiful strength”. It is primarily about training with your own body weight. This gave rise to the trend of training together in public parks in New York at the beginning of the 21st century. No conventional equipment or gyms were used. People train using only their own body weight or aids such as pull-up bars, parallel bars or beams. The exercises have their origin in classical gymnastics, but also in dance, acrobatics or parkour. The focus is on a full-body workout that uses all the muscles in the body. Muscle strength, body control and flexibility are encouraged.
