Rifugio Segreto - A retreat in the tranquility of the mountains

Dein Glamping Zelt hat einen Durchmesser von 4 Metern und ist mit einer 140 cm Matratze, Daunenduvet und Kissen ausgestattet. Dazu ein heimeliger Holzofen, Kuhfell im Zelt. Ein kleines Sideboard für deine Kleider, ein Holzkorb und eine schöne Öllampe. Glamping inmitten der Natur.

Bad:
Duschen unter dem Wasserfall, welcher 10 Minuten entfernt ist.

Toilette:
Eine Kompost Toilette ist vorhanden.

Solaranlage:
Für dein Akku steht gerne eine Solaranlage zur Verfügung und der Empfang ist mit 4 G sehr gut. Detoxing vom Telefon kann hier sehr nützlich sein, da wir ja immer irgendwie daran gebunden sind. Das musst du für dich selber wissen und für Affirmationen oder Übungen kann es auch hilfreich sein. Powerbanks, wenn du diese benötigst sind auch vorhanden.

I’m more than happy to accommodate any dietary requests. Please just let me know your preferences in advance. I buy a lot of my supplies directly from the village store, and most of it is organic and locally sourced. We have everything from tea to coffee. Meals are prepared in the barn/stone house, and you can enjoy your meal at the large oak table outside, with a beautiful view of the entire Maggia Valley.

There’s no set schedule here, no noise, no distractions—just time. You can structure your day however you like. Whether that means sleeping in or starting the day with yoga. There’s a small, charming spot nestled among the birch trees for your yoga practice or meditation. Enjoy a cup of tea at the large dining table, with a view of the entire valley, or have breakfast right in the lounge. Relax in the hammock or a lounge chair. Read a book, draw for yourself, or simply linger among the birch trees and listen to the humming of the bees.

Enjoy a delicious lunch with fine cheese from the Maggia Valley and vegetables. Treat yourself to a shower under the nearby waterfall and pamper yourself. Soak up the sun and watch your thoughts drift. Enjoy a coffee or tea while chatting. Listen to an affirmation and later enjoy dinner at the large table. Marvel at the wood-burning stove in the tent, drift off to sleep comfortably, and admire the starry sky beforehand. Simply be grateful for the day and for life.

A place with a sense of presence—and yet full of tranquility.

It takes 50 minutes by car or post bus from Locarno to the upper Maggiatal (Lavizzara), where I’ll be happy to pick you up by car. Free parking is available. If you’re a good hiker, you can also hike 1 hour and 15 minutes into the Seintental. That brings the total hiking time to about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Arrival time in Lavizzara is around 12:00 PM, so there’s plenty of time for the ascent.

You should be sure-footed and able to walk slowly up the mountain for 2 to 3 hours and do some very light climbing (T3), and you should have already completed a similar hike. Please bring your hiking poles—it makes the hike much easier—and don’t bring a backpack larger than 40 liters. The bigger the backpack, the more you’ll end up carrying, and traveling with light luggage is easier. Up here, you can recharge and let go.
