With the first warm rays of sun and the awakening of nature, the desire to spend time outdoors grows. The Balance Experiences on the Alpe di Siusi give you the opportunity to strengthen both body and mind amidst nature.
Experience, for example, a morning hike to the Tschafon hut, a guided flower walk, a tour of mills and farms with a refreshment break, a breathwork session on the Marinzen Alm, yoga on the Kastelruth Kofel, Kneipp therapy in Ratzes, pottery or willow weaving. These activities combine movement, mindfulness, and well-being in a truly special way.
The Balance Experiences take place weekly in Castelrotto, Siusi, Fiè allo Sciliar, Tires al Catinaccio, and on the Alpe di Siusi. Adults and teenagers aged 14 and up are welcome to participate.
As our guests, you can take part in these experiences free of charge!
A Blooming Wonderland on Europe’s Largest Alpine Pasture
As winter retreats and the last snow melts, the Alpe di Siusi comes alive again. Together with hiking guide Joachim Schwarz, we explore gentle alpine meadows and flowering pastures – habitats of extraordinary diversity in the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park.
In spring, a sea of crocuses transforms the landscape into a vivid purple. Among them, anemones, snowdrops, primroses, gentians, arnica, self-heal, and lilies unfold their vibrant colors. This unique combination attracts numerous insects and makes the plateau a true refuge for plants and pollinators.
A nature experience of rare beauty – pristine, colorful, and almost unique in Europe.
Spring Hike with Mill and Farm Visits and Traditional Alpine snack
Discovery Tour to Historic Farms and Mills
We start by bus from the Fiè Tourist Office to the Moarmüller Mill in Ums. After a guided visit and a short demonstration of the historic 16th-century milling techniques, we continue our leisurely spring hike along the Sciliar stream.
At the barn Zimmerlehen, we gain insights into history and tradition: the farm, chapel, and barn with a collection of old farming tools are presented in an engaging and informative way. At the end, the barn offers a light refreshment before everyone returns individually to the starting point.
Morning hike on the Tschafon mountain with mountaineer breakfast
What could be more wonderful than starting the day early in the mountains and doing something good for your body and mind?
On the guided hike from Tires to the Tschafon (1,737 m), you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Catinaccio and the surrounding Dolomites. At the cozy, family-run mountain hut, you can enjoy a hearty alpine breakfast with regional specialties before returning to the starting point.
For those who wish to spend even more time in the springtime nature, a detour to the Völseggspitze (approx. 25 minutes) is possible, followed by a self-guided return.

All aspects of the therapy – from water treatments and healthy nutrition to medicinal herbs and mindfulness – are taught in a practical way and can be experienced firsthand.
Breathwork & Mountain Breakfast on the Marinzen Alm
We take the Marinzen cable car up to the alpof the same name and discover the power of conscious breathing. You will learn how to relax, reduce stress, and recharge your energy using simple breathing techniques. Afterwards, we enjoy a hearty breakfast at the Alpin Marinzen Hut before returning to Castelrotto.
Discover the versatility of clay and create your own work of art! At Peterbühl in Fiè, a site with finds dating from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages, we try out different techniques and experiment with natural pigments from the region to decorate the clay pieces.
Each participant can shape a flowerpot or a decorative vase and take the finished work home – a personal memento of the creative experience amid nature.
Yoga on the Calvary hill in Castelrotto with healthy breakfast
Through consciously performed movements, mindful focus, and evenly practiced breathing, yoga activates all muscles, tendons, ligaments, and organs. On the Calvarian Hill in Castelrotto, participants can enjoy the peace of nature and recharge both mentally and physically for the day ahead.
After the session, our dedicated participants are treated to a healthy breakfast with porridge, snacks, and a vitamin-rich shake – perfect for starting the day fully energized.
Weaving with willow has a tradition that goes back over 10,000 years and still fascinates today with its versatility. From lanterns, balls, and hearts to mini lanterns – the creative possibilities are almost endless, and the finished pieces are true eye-catchers.
Under the guidance of Monika Carli Battisti, participants will explore the art of willow weaving and experience the calming effect of this creative craft. At the end of the workshop, each participant takes home their own handcrafted piece – perfect for the home or garden.
