Mountain hiking is healthy!

Hiking in the mountains not only offers blissful enjoyment of nature, it also has a beneficial effect on human health. Studies repeatedly show the positive effects of high-altitude holidays.

Hiking in the mountains and health - frequent changes in the body:

The circulatory system is often economised, for example by harmonising blood pressure.
Weight loss is of course also possible with intensive physical activity.
Blood sugar and blood lipid levels can balance each other out.
Even sleep often improves and the overall attitude to life can become more positive.
Mountain hiking leads to a proliferation of red blood cells, so oxygen can be transported better. This also improves the oxygen supply in the whole body.

Combine hiking in the mountains with an e-bike tour.
