A wellness centre with mountains for walls
Take a dip in nature and reinvigorate yourself with these 5 activities, from barefoot walking to yoga
Do you feel the need to simply switch off, relax and restore yourself in a natural way? What would you say to a holiday in a wellness centre that has the sky for a roof, mountains for walls and the rustling of branches for background music? In Trentino it’s possible!
Here are 5 experiences to enjoy this summer, from barefoot walking in the shadows of the Dolomites to a healthy yoga session in a forest of fir trees.
Barefoot
Your feet deserve a bit of freedom! Leave your shoes at home and take a barefoot walk through the woods, feel the soft grass, rough tree bark and smooth stone underfoot and then maybe dip them in the invigorating waters of a mountain stream. All you need to do is go to Val di Fassa, in the heart of the Dolomites.
Nordic walking
Remaining in the Dolomites and moving over to the Val di Fiemme, remember to grab your poles before setting out for a walk. Nordic walking is a relaxing yet healthy activity, which involves 90% of your muscles and is beneficial both to your circulation and back.
Forest bathing
The Japanese call it “Shinrin-yoku” (Bath in the Forest). It means submerging yourself in the forest and walking slowly for hours or until you feel reinvigorated, both physically and spiritually. Need a bath? In the summer you can try it out in the Alpe Cimbre, less than half an hour from Folgaria..
Bee wellness
Did you know that the soft buzzing of bees, the sweetness of honey and the scent of beeswax can help reinvigorate both body and spirit while simultaneously rewarding you with a completely unique and natural experience? Just go to the Piazze lake on the Piné plateau, less than half an hour from Trento.
Yoga amongst the trees
Yoga increases flexibility, improves vital energy and balances the body. A yoga session in a forest of fir and larch in the Stelvio National Park is also beneficial to the lungs and fills the heart with emotion. You can enjoy this experience this summer at the Thermal Baths of Rabbi, in the Val di Sole.
