Trentino spas – Ideas for wellness breaks  

Posted on by wellescapes

The Trentino region’s spas are ideal for wellness breaks at any time of year specialized, as they are, in the treatment of specific pathologies and traditional treatments based on the properties of mountain waters.  These six spas in various parts of the region are all in stunning natural surroundings where you can delight in meadows in which to walk barefoot, or meditate surrounded by silence to awaken the body and the senses. 

Borgo Salute-Terme Val Rendena

The Borgo Salute-Terme Val Rendena spa offers guests a series of activities and guided tours that allow them to discover the beautiful landscapes of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park. This is the place to come to restore your psychophysical balance, and to rediscover the value of wellbeing in an enchanting valley that is a destination for sports lovers as well as for those who just want to chill out and delight in nature.

An Ayurvedic approach to health and wellbeing

An Ayurvedic approach is one based on the world’s oldest medical science and it places man at the centre, viewing him as a whole composed of body, mind, and spirit. This programme in the Borgo Salute Wellness Centre in Caderzone Terme, which is about 60 kilometres from the city of Trento, includes a three-night full-board stay inspired by Ayurvedic cuisine. There are two Ayurvedic treatments per day in the open air in the Adamello Brenta Natural Park as well as a meditation and yoga programme.

Pain Management Program

Pain is manageable. Pain can be cured and corrected. Often, pain is a signal that points to a problem that needs to be addressed. Though we experience a wide range of pain due to different causes and triggers (diseases, age, strenuous activity, poor posture, obesity, pregnancy, smoking, and mental/emotional concerns), there are solutions. Awareness of the symptoms is key. Observing our reactions when they happen and unearthing the root of the suffering are equally important.

Iceland a perfect destination

Posted on by wellescapes

Iceland is the perfect destination for families with kids – children love the freedom and space, and for the parent´s ease, Iceland is one of the safest country in the world, with low crime rates and a very security system.

Hiking and trekking for all levels is very popular in remote areas and less remote. The highlands of Iceland are only possible to drive to from mid June until September, and many choose to drive across Iceland over the highlands on a big jeep. Road is not comfortable at all and not all rivers are bridged, but this is a great fun and unforgettable experience for couple of days. It is even possible to travel on horseback for few days in Iceland.

Glacier hike and ice climbing is all year´s activity but visit to natural ice caves in the glacier is only possible in winter.

For skiers, there is cross country or mountain skiing – and fantastic heli skiing from March – Iceland is one of few countries in the world where you can ski from mountain down to sea.

The new and ambitious activities inside the volcano (summer only) and into the glacier (all year) have been a huge attraction since they opened few years ago – these places are unique in the world.

Then are the more ordinary activities like whale, puffing or seal watching, horse back riding or dog-sledding , AVT squad driving, snowmobile tours, kayak or zodiac boat tour on the glacier lagoon, lava cave exploration – and more challenging activities like river rafting, snorkeling or scuba diving, surfing in the Atlantic Ocean, rock climbing, salmon fishing or sea angling, play golf in the midnight sun – and last but not least is to enjoy the number of geothermal bathing sites around the island – the Blue Lagoon being the most famous.

What children especially love is to stay couple of nights at a typical Icelandic farm, but you still have a choice of many old fashioned small farms with cows, sheep, hen and horses, where children can help out taking care of the animals.

So be prepare with your up-coming travel to Iceland.
