Ten Days of Wellness

A widespread festival dedicated to mindful wellness

The Ten Days of Wellness is a summer festival held in the Tesino Valley, in the upper Valsugana area of the Trento province (Trentino-Alto Adige region). The initiative is promoted by the Tesino Ecomuseum - Land of Travelers, a cultural organization that showcases the territory of the three municipalities of Castello Tesino, Pieve Tesino, and Cinte Tesino, with the support of the Valsugana Tourism Board. For ten consecutive days at the end of August, the valley transforms into an open-air laboratory dedicated to psychophysical well-being, slow living, and the rediscovery of the mountains.

A program for body, mind, and nature

The core theme of the event is mindful wellness: gentle physical activity, moments of relaxation, and deep dives into holistic disciplines are woven together to rejuvenate both body and mind. The program, spread across various locations in the valley, typically features:

• Hatha Yoga sessions immersed in the Tesino landscapes;
• Guided hikes to discover the trails, forests, and local flavors;
• Meditation meetings and mindfulness practices;
• A Gregorian and harmonic chant concert, often hosted in sites of great spiritual significance;
• Thematic workshops and immersive nature experiences.

Activities take place in diverse settings, from the meadows and woods of the valley to historic churches and Ecomuseum spaces, offering an experience that combines movement, silence, and listening.

The Tesino, land of travelers

The festival was born from the strong identity of a valley historically known as the land of travelers, due to the centuries-old tradition of print merchants who set out from here to reach all of Europe. This vocation for encounter and exchange is reflected today in the hospitality of the Ecomuseum, which, through the Ten Days of Wellness, promotes slow and sustainable tourism that fosters dialogue between locals and visitors.

Who should attend

The event is aimed at those seeking a rejuvenating holiday, enthusiasts of yoga and holistic disciplines, mountain and hiking lovers, or simply anyone wishing to spend a few quiet days among the towns of Castello Tesino, Pieve Tesino, and Cinte Tesino. The event is coordinated by the Tesino Ecomuseum, which publishes a detailed program with dates, times, and participation details each year.
