Sports and Yoga and Culinary at Lake Iseo 

We will check-in in Residenz Castello Oldofredi after arrival. This restored lovely Castle is one of the most beautiful accomodations at Lake Iseo -¨http://www.holidayhome-iseolake.com/

After relaxing a little, we will start with the first jogging/walking session on this beautiful island. Walking is in good hands of Gabi. Jogging will be guided by Urs and Armin. Yoga-freaks will have their first long Yoga session, the Jogger and Walker Community will experience some Yoga positions for streching after their running/walking activities. The first evening, we will enjoy our dinner at the restaurant of Castello Oldofredi.

The day will start with a sporty activity. Running/walking or Yoga? We will see. After a lovely breakfast, we will take our bus to visit the Mille Miglia Museum in Brescia. Interesting museum of vintage cars – even if you are not into cars! The Mille Miglia museum is located in a delightful quadrangle of old restored buildings and is full of some of the most famous cars that ran pre-1957. The exhibits rotate on a fairly regular basis keeping the collection fresh and there are lots of other race-related exhibits on display as well as archive audio visual shows which illustrate what an incredible event it was/is.

After this culture unit, we take our bus to Villongo, where we get an introduction into the Aqua-Gym (nastik). If you are not exhausted after that, you can still take a couple of lanes in the pool.

After these sport activities, we are probably starving, so we will enjoy a dinner in the restaurant La Cascina in Credaro. Luciano and his family will spoil us with local and Italian cuisine.

On Thursday morning we will start with an Aerobic unit. After breakfast we can relax at the pool. And then you might to practise some Yoga? The time up to early afternoon is free again. Then a jogging / walking unit will follows.

We go to the mainland by ferry and then take our bus to Monticelli Brusati. There we visit the wine cellar of Winery Tenuta La Montina with a wine tasting. https://lamontina.com/

We will enjoy the dinner on Thursday in the Hosteria Uva Rara in Monticelli Brusati, in an old country house of the 14th century, which has been completely renovated in consideration of the historical conditions. You can choose a themed menu like “the sea”, “the land”, “the Lake Iseo” or “for the vegetarian”. Our recommendation is the “Lake Iseo” menu. And you have wines from Franciacorta region.

The start into the day starts with a Yoga session. After breakfast grom the buffet, we take the ferry boat to Sulzano. Half of the group is cycling with e-bikes to the Piramids of Zone, the other half id doing the hiking route “Antica Via Valeriana”. Both groups will enjoy a fantastic view over Lake Iseo. A light lunch follows in the restaurant “Il Cacciatore”, Sulzano and then we will change. The so-called “Pyramids of Zone” are a true masterpiece from Mother nature. The inhabitants of Lake Iseo call them “stone fairies”, for the geologists it is simply “erosion pyramids”.

We are talking about those tall, pointed, tower-like structures of stone, on which usually a large deck stone is placed. They are among the most impressive earth pyramids in Europe, perhaps even worldwide. http://www.holidayhome-iseolake.com/pyramids-of-zone/
