ALPITUDINI – Emotions at Altitude on Alpe Cimbra

ALPITUDINI captures and intertwines multiple dimensions of the mountain experience.
It embodies the moods of mountain life: Altitude, Attitude, and Solitude, and reflects the multifaceted identity of Alpe Cimbra.

This journey explores not only the physical dimension of the mountains, but also their evocative power: aspiration, personal growth, the strength and mindset needed to live there, and the profound sense of isolation and introspection that only untouched nature can provide.

Alpitudini is a shared path in which the mountain becomes a metaphor for challenge, discovery, roots, and contemplation.
It is an invitation to truly inhabit the altitude—with awareness—through culture, landscape, and community.

Zero-Impact Cinema – An Immersive Under-the-Stars Experience

A small, eco-conscious summer film series at iconic locations on Alpe Cimbra.
Films are powered by a solar photovoltaic system and enjoyed in wireless headphones to preserve nature and its inhabitants.
A unique experience—sitting on the grass with your own blanket beneath the starry sky.
