South Tyrol is known for its numerous wellness hotels and various traditional as well as unusual wellness treatments. Below we provide you with an overview of how your vacation can become particularly relaxing.
How about a South Tyrolean hay bath, which dates back to the mountain farmers in the Dolomites? After an exhausting haymaking, many farmers spent their night in the hay and woke up the next morning with new strength and energy. In the hotels, one immerses hay in warm water for such a bath, and the guests are then buried in it up to their necks. Through the evaporation of the water, essential oils are subsequently released, stimulating metabolism and promoting circulation.
Infusion with Larch Pine Oil
In the sauna, the traditional South Tyrolean larch pine oil is very often used, whose pleasant scent stimulates the cardiovascular system. The essential oil is extracted from the needles of the larch pine and is also very popular as a bath additive and for the production of shower gels or shampoos.
Into the Apple Bath
The Eisack Valley, the Merano region, and the Vinschgau are very well known for their apples. However, very few people know that one can also experience a very special wellness ritual with the fruits. South Tyrolean apples contain 20 minerals and 13 different vitamins, which the skin absorbs during a steam bath. The substances contained have a circulation-stimulating and cleansing effect, and the fruits are also an excellent anti-aging product.
Naturopathy by Sebastian Kneipp
In the 19th century, the teacher of Pastor Sebastian Kneipp set completely new standards in naturopathy, focusing primarily on the healing effects of water and herbs. These ancient teachings are also applied in South Tyrol at various Kneipp stations, where guests are offered warm-cold alternating baths to stimulate metabolism and strengthen the immune system.
Highest European Wellness Area
Also a very special experience is a wellness day at the mountain hut "Schöne Aussicht," which is located on the Schnalstal Glacier and is considered the highest spa area in Europe. Here you will find peace and relaxation with breathtaking panoramic views of the impressive mountain world and can also admire the Alpenglow – known as Enrosadira. The mountain hut offers its visitors an outdoor sauna, a steam bath, various whirlpools, as well as the highest heated outdoor pool in Italy. Afterwards, you can indulge in culinary delights at the mountain hut and fully enjoy this magical place. Those who wish can also spend an unforgettable night in an igloo in winter and warm themselves with soft sheep skins.
