Journey through Italy from north to south in search of wellness and good food
Hotel Chalet Mirabel where you can discover the Aufguss masters
High above the roofs of Merano in a truly magical location, immersed in the silence and nature of the Avelengo plateau, is the five-star Mirabell resort. Here, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn has the scent of the forests that embrace the hotel, the colours of nature that slowly change its clothes, and the pure, crisp air of the warm days that still invite you to stay outdoors. For those who love to walk, there are many possibilities for excursions in the forest, with a network of well-marked paths through places with breathtaking views. Not to be missed is the walk to the natural viewpoint "Knottnkino", 30 steel and wooden cinema chairs handmade by the artist Franz Messner, who has thus transformed the red porphyry rock into a beautiful open-air cinema: an invitation to sit and enjoy the breathtaking "big screen" in the silence of the mountains.Back in the resort, guests have at their disposal an oasis of wellness where they can indulge in total relaxation: more than 6,000 square metres of spa, including an indoor/outdoor swimming pool and a 25-metre outdoor infinity pool, emotional and aromatic showers, herbal steam bath, salt-water steam bath, panoramic saunas (bio and Finnish) where they cannot miss the performances of some of the best-known Aufguss masters (creative ventilations with music). There is also a refreshing pool, a panoramic ce pool, and even a cinema with infrared loungers, an outdoor whirlpool and an outdoor lounge with a fireplace and a breathtaking view of the mountains. The treatment catalogue is extensive: try the alpine stone massage, an 80-minute treatment in which the body is massaged with hot stones and alpine essences to relieve muscle tension, stimulate lymph flow and blood circulation, fight insomnia and stress, and strengthen the immune system.
