Our sensory journeys
Experiences to be lived outdoors to awaken the 5 senses
Oasis of silence capable of awakening our senses, in the heart of the Trentino forests and Nature Parks: we are talking about sensory journeys, itineraries designed and developed to stimulate our most instinctive perception channels.
Kneipp paths, trails with illustrative panels, barefoot walks, footbridges...along these paths, you will discover that the mountain water is freezing cold, though also a cure-all if you dip both feet; you will feel that the pine bark is rough, but could also be soft and you will experience the inebriating scent of resin.
Walks that enhance your sensory perceptions, to be taken alone or in the company of a guide. There are many of them throughout Trentino, and here are those we recommend.
Kneipp under the sky, Val di Sole
In Val di Sole, in Valorz, you will find the first outdoor Kneipp path in Trentino. You walk in the fresh and pure waters in a well-kept green area, through fountains and ponds. The healing function of water and the cold/warm alternation is excellent for your blood circulation.
The Path of the Senses, Vigolana
Along the 60-km long Vigolana “Path of the Senses” you touch the rocks and the bark of trees with your hand, smell the scents of trees and herbs, listen to the sounds of nature and animals, and admire the landscape with different eyes.

The Navoi Wellness Park, Primiero
At Fiera di Primiero, you will find an oasis of well-being with an enchanting view of the Pale di San Martino and a lot of equipment for: aquatic therapy, Kneipp path, multisensory journeys and even yoga.
