Cold and sound baths at Ciampac

Programme

Friday 12th September

• 2.30 p.m. - Meeting point for participants in Alba di Canazei, at the departure point of the Ciampac cable car with mindfulness experts and representatives from ApT Val di Fassa
• 2.45 p.m. - Once you reach an altitude of 2,100 metres in the Ciampac basin, you can enjoy the superb view of the Sella and Sassolungo groups, after which you will reach the Ciampac Refuge, where you will spend the night
• 3.15 p.m. - After leaving your backpack at the refuge, it's time to start the outdoor activities: Alberto welcomes you with YogaMiti, an introductory practice to bring your attention to your breathing, release tension and prepare you to experience the day with full awareness
• 4.30 p.m. - With your body and mind well prepared, continue with Giorgia's guided meditation: thanks to ancestral chants and crystal bells, you will connect deeply with the environment and let yourself be carried away by regenerating sounds and vibrations
• 5.30 p.m. - Return to the refuge and relax before dinner
• 7.15 p.m. - Between outdoor activities and the crisp air, you will feel a certain hunger that will be immediately satisfied by a dinner of traditional Ladin dishes prepared by the refuge chef
• Around 10 p.m. - End the evening by sharing your impressions and experiences of the day with the group before a well-deserved rest

Saturday, 13th September

• 6 a.m. - Wake up in the mountains
• 6.30 a.m. - Warm up with a hot drink before heading out for some early morning activity
• 6.45 a.m. - Get ready for a busy day with a sound bath with Giorgia and a short yoga and breathing session with Alberto at the first light of day
• 7.45 a.m. - Another exclusive experience awaits you: cold baths using the Wim Hof method, guided by Matteo. These are conscious breathing exercises, body activation and controlled immersion in the natural environment, in the high-altitude waters of Ciampac, which give a boost of energy to body and mind
• 10 a.m. - Back at the refuge, breakfast awaits you, with lots of genuine products and the warmth of a family atmosphere
• At around 11 a.m., departure with a guide for a circular hike (about 1.5 hours) that climbs up to the ridge, also using a chairlift, allowing you to walk mostly on flat ground and admire the beauty of Ciampac (the “Sulle tracce di Ciampy” itinerary along the panoramic ridges)
• 12.30pm - At the end of the walk, an aperitif awaits you to round off the group experience in style
• Afterwards - You can have lunch at the refuge (at your own expense) and/or set off to discover the ‘Out of the Box’ sensory trail, an immersive experience to enjoy on your own. Once you have picked up your box, let yourself be guided by the cards along the trail, amplifying your sensations and fully experiencing the here and now
• In the early afternoon - You can descend to Alba di Canazei or choose to spend a few more hours on your own at Ciampac, enjoying a snack in the refuge or continuing to explore the area. Remember that the cable car down to Alba is open until 5.30 pm
