Active and healthy in spring!

When the days get longer in spring and nature awakens, the desire for outdoor exercise increases. With these special "Balance" experiences, you can recharge your batteries in and with nature.
The experiences Balance offer movement, relaxation and well-being for body and mind.
The events, carried out by Alpe di Siusi Marketing, will be held every week and are suitable for both adults and teenagers from the age of 14. If you book a stay in our hotel, you can participate in the following Balance experiences free of charge.
Guided flower hike on the Alpe di Siusi (in German and Italian only)
The colorful world of colors and scents
As soon as the last patches of snow have melted away, the big blooming begins. With the nature park supervisor Riccardo Insam we hike through the pastures and meadows, which are among the most species-rich habitats in the Schlern-Rosengarten nature park. A variety of rare flowers can be found there.
Countless spring crocuses transform the meadows into a shimmering purple sea. Delicate anemones, snowdrops, primroses, gentians, brunellas, arnica, lilies and and and... A flower paradise that can hardly be found anywhere else in the world.
