The forest effect: where well-being starts

When you arrive at the Pineta, you almost do not realise it. Only by changing perspective you understand that we are an integral and symbiotic part of a fir and larch forest. After all, we are called the Pineta for a reason…
Nicola

Our forest is an authentic natural wellness centre. Here we guide you in experiences designed to reconnect you with nature and yourself: Forest Bathing to yoga under the wild pines and birch trees, hugging fir and beech trees and the Kneipp Path in the San Romedio stream. The sensations you feel in the outdoors, can also be found in the scents in our SPA and in the authentic flavours of our cuisine. Here well-being starts in the forest and develops in harmony with it.
