YOG·AMIGA — Val Sinergia Festival

A wellness festival at the foot of the Dolomites

The Val Sinergia Festival is an event dedicated to yoga, meditation, movement, and mindful wellness that brings San Vigilio di Marebbe to life every late August. Located in the municipality of Marebbe/Enneberg (province of Bolzano), in the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, the name captures the festival's philosophy: Val, which means valley in Ladin, and Sinergia (synergy), the strength that arises when people, nature, and energy meet. Conceived and organized by YOG·AMIGA, the project founded by Miriam and Gabriel of YogaYurt, the festival debuted in 2025 and offers four immersive days among the peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.

Four days of open-air practice

The festival's headquarters is the Pes Pesc playground in San Vigilio di Marebbe, which transforms into a large, green-enveloped practice space for the occasion. The program alternates between different disciplines and rhythms throughout the day, from morning sessions to evening experiences, allowing both beginners and experienced practitioners to curate their own journey.

• Yoga styles: Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yoga Nidra, as well as Qi Gong and Bodyart.
• Breathwork and meditation: breathwork sessions, Clarity Breathwork, guided meditations, and Kundalini activation.
• Movement and dance: Ecstatic Dance, Body Beats Flow, Afro Flow, Buti Yoga, Pilates, calisthenics, and acro yoga.
• Ceremonies and experiences: cacao ceremony, singing circles and kirtan, aerial silks, and fire shows.
• Creative workshops: pottery labs, wire jewelry making, and Thai Yoga massage.
• Nature and relaxation: guided hikes in the Dolomites, thematic talks, sauna, and relaxation time.

Concerts and community

Alongside the practice sessions, the Val Sinergia Festival places great emphasis on live music, with concerts and soundscapes that accompany the days, creating the intimate and convivial atmosphere that participants describe as one of the event's hallmarks. The festival's international dimension—with workshops and classes also conducted in English—attracts practitioners from across Europe, while the backdrop of the Dolomites provides the perfect setting for an experience of connection with oneself and others.

A growing young project

Following the first edition in 2025, the festival returns for its second year, maintaining its four-day format. The choice of San Vigilio di Marebbe, nestled between the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park and Plan de Corones, combines a focus on wellness with the hiking appeal of one of the most picturesque locations in South Tyrol, where Ladin culture coexists with South Tyrolean traditions. The Val Sinergia Festival thus establishes itself as a reference point for those seeking an active, wellness-oriented mountain getaway.
