Art, Nature, Mystery

Guided hikes on the trail of the golden thread, "art, nature, mystery", Rossa (1100m) Val Calanca

"When the space around us becomes part of us again, balance is restored."
An excursion dedicated to the inspiring power of Beauty, which reminds us how much it can nourish the spirit and awaken art. Here in Rossa, Beauty manifests itself in its essence: the rocky walls, the river, the meadows, the forests, the sky. A reminder of the harmony hidden among the glimpses of the landscape, where you can grasp the natural elements that find their maximum expression in these places. Here and there, traces of ancient, sacred and modern architecture tell of this place, a sanctuary for the soul and its art. A proposal to be together in contact with nature and the whole universe. A hymn to quiet and contemplation, to find peace and inspiration.
