Breathe. Slow down. Notice everything.

A walk through 100-year-old pine, led by someone who grew up here.

Breathe 100-year-old pine air, walk paths carved by centuries of shepherds, and let a born-and-raised local guide show you what no app can find.

This is not a march. It is a slow, conversational walk through the forest that surrounds the resort — the kind of walk where you stop to taste a wild herb, listen to a woodpecker, and look out over the Bovilla valley while your guide tells you which plants the old shepherds used as medicine.

At this altitude the air is measurably cleaner and richer in oxygen. Many guests say the first thing they notice is how deeply they sleep that night. Choose a fresh morning departure or a golden sunset one — both have their own magic.

  • Born-and-raised local guide who knows every path and plant
  • High-altitude pine forest air, rich in oxygen
  • Morning & sunset departures available
  • Gentle pace — suitable for almost any fitness level
  • Photo stops at the best forest and valley viewpoints

Forest & Air

The air alone at this altitude is medicine.

Your Walk, Step by Step

What to expect

Three unhurried hours, shaped by the forest and the time of day you choose.

  • Minute 0

    Meet your guide at reception

    A short welcome, a bottle of spring water, and a quick look at the route. No special gear needed — just comfortable shoes.

  • First 45 min

    Into the pines

    Enter the old-growth forest on gentle shepherd trails. Your guide points out medicinal plants, birds and the small details most people walk straight past.

  • The middle

    The viewpoint & a pause

    Reach the clearing that overlooks the valley. This is the photo stop — and a quiet moment to just breathe and take the mountain in.

  • Final stretch

    Back down, lighter than you came

    A slow return through a different section of forest, finishing back at the resort in time for a meal or a rest.
