I didn't expect a three-day trip to northeastern Italy to result in a full-blown infatuation with sauna culture, pine trees, and one of the oldest towns in the South Tyrol region. For that, I credit Forestis, a mountainside spa hotel that sits nearly 6,000 feet above sea level-directly facing the craggy peaks of the Dolomites-just a short, albeit winding, drive from Brixen.
Tonelli traveled the world climbing mountains and riding down them with his LAST bike in no-fall zones. He and Giovanni Mattielo are credited with the first mountain bike ascent and descent of Argentina's 22,211-foot Cerro Mercedario in January 2025.
'With Every Step' consists of 146 wooden poles arranged to form an anamorphic message, visible only from a specific vantage point, emphasizing spatial engagement.
Forestis Hotel offers a luxurious escape in Italy's Dolomites, providing direct mountain views, access to numerous outdoor activities, and a focus on wellness and relaxation.
