Full of energy
in the heart of nature

When the sun shines, it doesn’t just give plants energy for growth. It also motivates us with its rays and makes us want to move more. Movement is the opposite of standing still, but in reality, standing still is an illusion. If we do not move, if...

When the sun shines, it doesn’t just give plants energy for growth. It also motivates us with its rays and makes us want to move more. Movement is the opposite of standing still, but in reality, standing still is an illusion. If we do not move, if we do not decide to move, then we will be moved. “Pantha rhei”, as Heraclitus said. Everything flows.

Movement is crucial for humans from our very beginnings, our very first thoughts. Evolution has shaped us into runners, and therefore movement is part of our natural state. Aristotle summed this up as follows: "Without movement, a body does not really exist." It is only when a body moves, that you see its vitality. That is why it feels so good to be active.

Hiking

We are all designed according to the golden ratio, which is why it is important to find the golden mean when it comes to exercise. Moderation is the key, as Paracelsus said. Move moderately to create a friendly relationship with yourself. The German philosopher Wilhelm Schmid argued that it is good to be your own friend. The real art lies in managing to combine rest and effort into something entirely new. In Val Badia, in the midst of the most beautiful Dolomites, happiness comes of its own motion.

Climbing

Climbing

Be in the moment. Focus on a detail in the rock. Concentration fills your being. Body and mind work together at the highest level. The powder of the Dolomite rock feels a little rough. Up to the summit, and with every step the world shows more of itself, until it finally spreads out before your eyes. While climbing in Marebbe, freedom comes with the beat of birds' wings and descends onto your shoulders, caressing your body and skin and penetrating to the core of your being.

Adventures

Immerse yourself in the lightest of all elements: air, and discover what life is like from a bird’s perspective. Escape gravity and live high in the air. Let yourself be carried by the winds. See the world from high above and don’t let anything stop you.

Adventure, outdoor living, action and the ultimate kick in Marebbe and South Tyrol. An amazing experience!

Ride a bike

It revolves around itself – there are two of them – then it progresses at speed. The technique is simple, the speed multiplied. In reality, a contradiction, but as a whole it works wonderfully! Cycling is healing. Pedalling calls on a multitude of muscles, even if you have a little help from a battery. This is particularly true when you whiz along the great bike paths in Val Badia under the Dolomites.
