The fresh mountain air of Sulden brings not only clarity to our lungs – it also sharpens our senses to what grows, smells, and heals all around us. During this herbal hike, we open ourselves to the healing power of nature. Along peaceful trails, we discover powerful alpine plants that have been part of traditional folk medicine and home remedies for centuries. You’ll learn to identify, gather, and apply common healing and wild herbs in everyday life – and discover how the landscape itself becomes your teacher. To conclude the day, we’ll prepare a fragrant herbal salt together using freshly foraged plants – a small piece of nature to take home. This experience combines movement, knowledge, fresh air, and mindfulness, offering a holistic journey – for body, mind, and senses.

Amidst the powerful nature of Sulden, we invite you to a healing practice that connects you with the living presence of the moment. Through mindful walking, quiet observation, gentle movements, and conscious breathing, we allow the mind to settle – and refine our sensitivity to what is: the wisdom of the body, the silence within, and the flow of life energy pulsing through the pure mountain air. This practice is a reconnection – with the earth beneath our feet, with the breath that sustains us, and with the heart that longs to feel aliveness. A space for depth, connection, and genuine presence.
Come just as you are. There is nothing to know – only a willingness to feel.
