PAID CONTENT FOR FORESTIS
Forestis SOUTH TYROL, ITALY
Perched on the southern slope of Mount Plose, Forestis overlooks the Unesco-listed Dolomites and the historic town of Brixen. The region has long been valued for its clean mountain air, abundant sunshine and gentle climate, making it a natural destination for those seeking restoration. Wellbeing lies at the heart of the experience.
The spa draws on four native trees — mountain pine, spruce, larch and Swiss pine — traditionally associated with healing qualities. Treatments are inspired by Celtic traditions once practised in the Alps, including Wyda, a movement and mindfulness system created by Celtic druids. The Tree Circle Ceremony offers a symbolic, sensory ritual that’s rooted in local forest culture. Outdoor experiences complement wellness.
In summer, hiking and mountain biking explore flower-rich Alpine pastures, while winter offers ski in, ski out access to the Plose slopes, home to one of South Tyrol’s longest descents. Sustainability is integral: spa products are natural and refillable, and a tree is planted for every day housekeeping is declined, helping the surrounding forest thrive.
Dining at Forestis reflects its mountain
surroundings. Signature Forest Cuisine blends Alpine depth with Mediterranean lightness, guided by a no-waste philosophy and locally sourced ingredients from the hotel’s garden, regional farms and the surrounding forest. Seasonal foraging provides mushrooms, herbs, roots and other local delicacies. The recently opened Yera restaurant expands the culinary offering, while the Garden Restaurant offers relaxed, all-day dining. A curated wine cellar highlights South Tyrolean varietals such as lagrein and gewürztraminer, alongside international selections. The property’s history shapes its character. The
wooden facade is under monumental protection, while restored ceilings and staircases retain a sense of historic charm. Contemporary extensions use locally sourced pine wood and stone from Mount Plose, with interiors softened by natural textiles from nearby Trentino. All 62 suites feature floor- to-ceiling windows framing forests, meadows and jagged limestone peaks, offering a rare combination of altitude, heritage and contemporary refinement.
