Breathe, you are in Trentino

8 proposals to realign your rhythms with those of nature

Close your eyes and breathe. Can you smell the scent of resin? Can you hear the gentle melody of the water as the stream flows again after winter? Smells, sounds, sensations. A panacea for the body. And refreshing water for the mind.

The Japanese have always celebrated forest immersion. They call it “Shinrin-yoku”, meaning “forest bathing”. Here in Trentino, you can combine this Oriental practice with barefoot walking, or the Kneipp path in the cold water of the streams. And with an outdoor yoga session with a view of the Brenta Dolomites.

We call it spring awakening and we celebrate it with numerous wellness activities to be enjoyed outdoors, to feel good in every sense and with all the senses. Choose the experience that most inspires you and breathe. You’re in Trentino!

The Japanese call it “Shinrin-yoku” (forest bathing). You immerse yourself in the woods and walk very slowly for hours.
