Forest Bathing in Pontresina's Taiswald Forest

forest bathing means mindfully immersing yourself in nature with all your senses and noticeably reducing your own pace. 

Walk at a slow pace under Swiss stone pine and larch trees, stopping or sitting down again and again to rest. The focus is on slowing down, pausing and reducing. Seeing, smelling, hearing, feeling... Learning to focus your attention under expert guidance during extended stays in the forest. This is what forest bathing can look like.

Studies have proven the positive health effects of forest bathing, including stress reduction, improved mood and strengthening of the immune system.

In Japan, this method of mindfulness is even considered medicine and is recognized as preventive health care under the name “Shinrin-Yoku”. 

Forest bathing takes place as a group activity under expert guidance. Mostly in the Pontresiner Taiswald forest, in the direction of Val Roseg.
