A weekend dedicated to health and wellbeing in Airolo, at the USI Sport alpine base located at the Casa della Sostenibilità.
Two days to take care of yourself, slow down and recharge, combining physical activity, time in nature, balanced nutrition, moments of reflection and relaxation.
The Wellbeing Camp is suitable for everyone, regardless of fitness level, and no previous experience in the proposed activities is required. The aim is to enjoy a wellbeing experience in the mountains while learning simple practices that can be incorporated into everyday life.
In addition to the USI Sport instructors, Eleonora Ligabò, harpist and musician, will join the camp and accompany selected relaxation and sound meditation sessions with harp and Tibetan singing bowls.
