Good health by running at 1,200 metres altitude in Tyrol’s mountains
The health advantages of a hiking holiday 1,200 meters above sea level have been scientifically proven. The Austrian Moderate Altitude Study undertaken at the Arlberg massif – taking into account the individual needs of people of all ages – shows the positive effects of exercise and the fresh mountain air at this altitude on the human organism:
- contributes to the efficient working of the heart and circulation (the use of drugs for blood pressure could, in certain cases, be decreased or completely abandoned);
- improves the situation as regards blood sugar and fat deposits in the blood;
- leads to weight loss;
- brings about positive neuro-psychological effects - it became clear that attitudes towards life become more positive, the quality and length of sleep increases and negative states of mind decrease; and
- leads to an increase in new red blood cells, which are better able to transport oxygen and thus the risk of thrombosis is reduced.
Do yourself some good during your activity holidays in Tyrol, refuel your energy and get in shape in the clear, cool mountain air. Be spoilt by the excellent health cuisine and the various massages and beauty treatments at the Hotel Gridlon. Avail yourself of the pleasures of the wellness & spa area. Your first step towards the holidays of your dreams is a non-committal enquiry.
