Buongiorno a tutti!
For this fitness challenge we are going to beautiful Italy! This country is home to incredible historical sites, delicious foods, and breathtaking landscapes like the majestic Dolomites mountains.
These mountains, also known as the Pale Mountains, are part of the northern Italian Alps. They are rich in history—many World War 1 battles were fought there, and ancient mummies have been found there too! (Look up Ötzi the Iceman!)
There are also many beautiful hikes, such as one called the Puez-Odle, that have great views of the Dolomite peaks. Here’s a fitness challenge we can try together!
Hiking The Puez-Odle
Over the next week, we are going to hike the same distance as the Puez-Odle hike: 14.5 km (9 miles).
- From Monday to Saturday: Hike, walk, or run 2.4 km (1.5 miles) every day.
- For an extra challenge: Pick a hilly course to simulate the real Puez-Odle trail.
Now imagine those amazing mountains, lace up your shoes, and let’s get started!
