GREEN SUMMER
Soft green meadows in the fresh morning dew, lush green forests, soft green mosses and emerald-green mountain lakes. A bright green slice of lime and fresh mint leaves in your aperitif, somewhere between rosemary and eulalia. Our summer offers every possible shade of green!
Light to dark, pale to strong: forest green, meadow green, grass green, moss green, apple green, loden green and all the rest. You can walk for hours through the freshest of greenery, losing yourself in the various hues, simultaneously harmonious, soothing and refreshing. Walk along cool streams, across fields of knee-high grass, then on paths through the forest: sometimes dense and dark, with mossy stones; sometimes light and open, with vivid clover. Step by step into a whole new world of branches, ferns, shrubs and herbs.
Higher and higher, step by step, towards the summit: at some point, the trees thin out and the grass becomes shorter. The green becomes paler and the world is a little quieter. A stony grey dominates, a few tufts line the path until you reach a place that feels just right. You sit down, take a deep breath and slowly exhale once more. You feel the freshness with every breath, the silence and the strength that such a mountain always gives. And, as your eye traces the contours of the horizon, then delves deeper and deeper, you realise that the contrasting grey up here makes the lovely green down there truly shine.

There is always something magical about every mountain tour. Sometimes they challenge us, sometimes they overwhelm us with feelings of happiness or simply let us forget the world. The Vitalpina Hotels will be happy to take you on a tour, or offer suggestions for a vast range of walks. And don’t forget to ask about the special Vitalpina selfness programmes, such as Forest Bathing, Deep Breathing or Feel the Mountains.
