The signage specially developed for RUNNING AND WALKING TRAILS LECH ZÜRS

ARLBERG makes it easy to check the time taken for the distances covered. The

2-board system, comprising direction and distance boards provides information on

the direction and trail length and whether the route is a running, mountain jogging or

walking trail, as well as the fractions of kilometres covered. In this way, all runners or

walkers can immediately check whether they are keeping to the individual speed and

pulse guidelines given in their medical check-ups.
