A piedi nudi sulla neve — Barefooting in Val di Rabbi, San Bernardo.
Immerse yourself in a deliberate, multisensory reconnection with the woods of Val di Rabbi: guided by a naturopath, the program moves from inhaling conifer essences to the singular sensation of snow beneath bare feet and a warming automassage with a balsamic ointment, and closes with a hot tisana and a typical sweet at Pasticceria Silvia.
