Far away from traffic and everyday life, the mountain air – free from harmful substances – boasts properties that high-altitude medicine describes as being especially conducive to the strengthening of the body. The different oxygen level in the mountains is a real challenge for the body and brings the interplay of lungs and cardiovascular system into top form. Thanks to the clean mountain air, the lungs are better supplied with blood and the body absorbs oxygen more effectively. As a result, the improvement in oxygen transportation stimulates the organism to form an increased number of red blood corpuscles and blood flow improves, due to which the cells are supplied with more fresh oxygen. Cell regeneration takes place more swiftly.
The excellent air quality is our greatest asset. FORESTIS combines its clarity with the transparency of glass. The floor-to-ceiling windows made of natural ore materials emphasise the air’s purity, which gives people new strength, as well as wonderful views of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Summer in the Dolomites is a season of abundance, when nature reveals its full strength and beauty. Under the steady influence of the sun, the vitality of plants and animals reaches its peak: forests glow in deep green, mountain meadows unfold into a vibrant carpet of wildflowers, and the clear air is filled with the hum of insects and the murmur of streams fed by melting snow.
For centuries, people have sought the mountains during the summer months. In earlier times, this was not only for the joy of the refreshing altitude but also for practical reasons. While the valleys often sweltered in oppressive heat, the so-called Sommerfrische on the alpine pastures offered pleasant temperatures, fresh spring water, and lush grazing land. Cattle were driven to the higher meadows, where they could nourish themselves on mineral-rich grasses and herbs, while farmers lived in huts and transformed the fresh milk into butter and cheese.
The wildlife, too, thrives in this season of plenty: wild animals find ample food on the herb-filled pastures, building reserves for the coming winter. Chamois, marmots, and red deer are frequently seen, while birds such as the golden eagle trace majestic circles in the sky.
Thus, summer in the Dolomites is more than just a season—it is a symbol of abundance, vitality, and harmony between humans, animals, and nature. It serves as a reminder that the highlands have always offered protection and refreshment, and that the mountains at this time become a place of retreat, renewal, and inner strength.
