WHY THIS HIKE

Forest bathing in Civate

Forest Bathing (or Shinrin-Yoku) is not just a simple walk, but a deep wellness practice created to combat the stress of modern life. It is designed for those who feel mentally exhausted, those living overwhelmed by thoughts, and those who need to "reset" their psychosomatic system. Immersing yourself in the breath of the forest helps to lower stress levels, regenerate vital energy, and rediscover a balance that the city often steals from us. You will emerge from this experience feeling brand new, with a mental clarity and physical lightness you have never felt before. Our journey will begin in the village of Civate, but we will quickly move away from the beaten path. As your Environmental Guide, I will lead you on a short exploratory trek towards a secret forest, a place you won't find on maps and where silence reigns supreme. It will be a journey of transition, necessary to leave your worries behind in the valley. Once we reach this hidden oasis, we will begin the core of the practice under the guidance of a specialized guide.

10:30VIEWPOINT
"We are in our woods, and our practice begins."
It is here, in the profound silence, that we will begin our forest bathing practice. We will pause. We will let the exertion of the trek transform into a state of mindful stillness. This is no longer a time to watch the clock or focus on the destination, but to listen to the heartbeat of the woods. In this protected space, far from everything, you will be guided to awaken your senses, one by one, to begin that process of psychosomatic regeneration that only a total, conscious immersion can provide.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Arianna, an environmental hiking guide: nature, smiles and a real appetite for exploring. I love nature and everything in it, and taking groups out to discover special places is my passion. What I enjoy most is sharing curiosities and the little secrets of a place, and passing on that sense of wonder only a well-lived hike can give you. I'm a sunny person, I love human contact and I always put the wellbeing of the group first: a good day out for me is one where everyone feels good, not the fastest one. Every outing should leave a mark — breathtaking landscapes, genuine emotions and new connections between people. If you're looking for an enthusiastic, involving guide, we understand each other. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
