The silence of the snow
Decelerating peace away from the pistes.
Cross-country ski runs, hiking trails and pristine snow-covered slopes as far as the eye can see: on the Monte Pana, it's not just mountains of pistes that await me. The cross-country skiing centre is right in front of the hotel and many winter hikes start right outside my suite. The gentle movement through the quiet winter nature has a calming yet revitalising effect. On cross-country skis, snowshoes or in warm boots, I can discover the beauty of the surroundings in a completely natural way, reduce stress and slow down.
As a cross-country skiing fan, I am at the best place here at Cendevaves. I love the peace and the meditative aspect of the sport. And the fact that it trains my body so thoroughly. The Monte Pana cross-country skiing centre is just a few steps away and has 30 kilometres of trails. The bus that stops outside my hotel comfortably takes me to another 60 kilometres of trails on the Alpe di Siusi in no time.
On a winter and snowshoe hike on Monte Pana, I can reach some of natures most beautiful spots that are not accessible by cable car. I trudge through snowy forests, past lonely mountain huts and alpine lodges and feel the all-encompassing sense of peace. Sunrise and full moon tours in particular lead through a silence that I have never experienced before.
You can also go mountaineering on skis. Around the Cendevaves I have countless opportunities to practice this wonderfully natural sport. Gliding through the snow has something meditative about it. The silence is only interrupted by the crunching of fresh snow under my skis and my breathing. The guides from the alpine schools in Val Gardena take me on guided ski tours to the most beautiful places.
