A tour among some of Italy’s most beautiful mountains, in the footsteps of the famous Reinhold Messner, who here has begun to climb. 19 kilometers around to one of the most spectacular massifs of the Dolomites. We are in Val di Funes, jewel of South Tyrol. What in German is called Villnößtal is a small valley, […]

If you say museum, children begin to stir. They start imaging long corridors and large rooms where it is forbidden to run and speak loudly. Then they find out that they too love Art if the museum is the right one. A large park, for example, surrounded by forests and mountains. A stroll through nature, like that of […]

Sometimes nature creates breathtaking landscapes, which seem (and perhaps are) masterpieces, works of art that it is hard to describe. Over millions of years, places that seem unreal, alien come to life. This is the case of The Wave, a spectacular rock formation in the Arizona desert, USA. Its name refers to the effect created […]

Spending your holiday immersed in the woods, sleeping surrounded by nature is even more special, something to live fully, to rediscover yourself, find a lost wellness, a deep connection with the environment […]

The Nebrodi mountains, also known as Caronie, stretch from the northeast coast of Sicily to the park of the vulcan Etna on the south east coast of the island. The name seems to come from a Greek word meaning “deer” and it may refer to the numerous deer living in the area at the times […]

Some are forced to drive a car every day and cannot wait to take a holiday without it. There are those who live in a big city like Berlin or Copenhagen, and by choice decided to live without a car. Or even those who want to travel sustainable and stress-free, by public transport (and no […]

A German reader, whom we thank, has written to us to organize her next trip to Italy, this is what she wrote: Hello, I will arrive by plane in Rome and I would like to get to the hot springs with close accommodation without a car. Can you help me? Actually reaching the many natural hot springs near Rome without a […]
