Take a deep breath and take in the surrounding nature as you and your loved ones enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride into the Roseg Valley, or try forest bathing in Val Bever, where the stunning landscape is an integral part of a wellbeing experience. In South Tyrol, stroll through the sun-drenched vineyards and orchards, and enjoy wine tastings with your loved ones, or rustic dishes and wines at a local Buschenschank tavern. Savour the local produce with a private apple orchard tour, or try your hand at truffle foraging in the Eppan forests. Unwind in Merano’s thermal baths after a farmer’s market visit, and in the evening, dine at a farm hut where the dishes feature fresh Alpine herbs. ​More than a simple culinary tour, this is a farm-to-soul encounter with the Alps, blending food, land and culture into a deeply memorable journey of wellbeing, gastronomy and discovery.

WHY VISIT THE ENGADIN?
The Engadin valley is a destination of quiet sophistication, a counterpoint to the more celebrated glamour of nearby St. Moritz. It has historically been a preferred sanctuary for writers, artists, and intellectuals, drawn to its serene landscape and its unique cultural identity.
The valley is home to a rich Romansh heritage, Switzerland’s lesser-known national language, which provides a rare glimpse into a culture that values authenticity and tradition. This is a place where wellbeing is found in the pure, pine-scented air and a deep connection to the earth. Activities here are not about exertion but about immersion—from visiting a local apiary to sample honey, to a gentle hike that opens up to breathtaking, untouched vistas.
It is the perfect place to recharge and reconnect with oneself, surrounded by a landscape of rugged beauty and a community that holds fast to its history and traditions.
WHY VISIT SOUTH TYROL?
South Tyrol offers a fascinating combination of scenic nature, centuries of history, and refined European hospitality, making it the perfect destination for the discerning traveller seeking a holistically luxurious journey. Where else can one find the dramatic, UNESCO-protected peaks of the Dolomites rising above lush, Mediterranean-style vineyards and apple orchards, as well as cypress-lined promenades?
The region’s identity is defined by its unique geographical location, where three official languages—German, Italian, and the ancient, distinct Ladin—coexist, infusing the local culture and, most importantly, the cuisine.
​
Culturally, South Tyrol is a sophisticated tapestry woven with Germanic efficiency, Italian la dolce vita, and the ancient Ladin heritage. The landscape is dotted with nearly 800 castles and manors—historical estates that now house museums or offer exclusive retreats, providing myriad avenues for cultural exploration. The area also offers world-class wellness, from thermal spas to the unique local practice of therapeutic hay baths.
​
For the discerning palate, South Tyrol is an insider’s destination. It boasts one of Italy’s highest concentrations of Michelin-starred and Gault&Millau-awarded restaurants, yet retains a commitment to genuine, rustic flavour. It is a place of deep cultural pride: autumn brings the Törggelen tradition, where locals hike through vineyards to enjoy young wine and hearty fare, a unique social ritual far beyond the typical tourist experience.
​
Whether you prefer a curated mountain excursion along an ancient trail, cycling through apple orchards, or simply savouring a rare Lagrein vintage on a sun-drenched terrace, South Tyrol delivers experiences that are both invigorating and deeply personal, ensuring every moment spent is a moment valued.
