Forest bathing experience in Italy
Love walking? Then give forest bathing a go. This involves walking in nature, immersing yourself in all the aromas – Japanese studies say it boosts immunity and wellbeing. Try it in Trentino, northern Italy, with around 1,000 trees per person. The ‘Bosco del Respiro’ (Breathing Forest), has 36 hectares and is the first trail in Italy dedicated to forest bathing.
How much: Exploring the forest is free. A two-night Pure Alpine Digital Detox at nearby Terme di Rabbi (termedirabbi.it), is from £250pp. Visit visittrentino.info/en
