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/
After returning to the hotel and a relax phase, we drive to the winery Azienda Agricola Elisa in Clusane. The wine region Franciacorta, also known as the “Champagne of Italy”, offers the best sparkling wines of Italy. And right here, we’ll taste these sparkling wines. With dinner! http://www.villaelisafranciacorta.com/home.php
Wednesday, 25.04.18
Today we drive along Lake Iseo until we get between Castro and Riva di Solto to the location Sportaction. http://www.sportaction.it/ – In two units we try two of the three disciplines sailing, standup paddling and kayak under guidance. If you want to skip an unit, you can relax on a sunbed or go walking / jogging / hiking. In between you will have a delicious lunch to strengthen your body.
After these refreshing water activities we drive back to the hotel. If a further sport activity is desired, it will be a great pleasure to offer this. Do you prefer Yoga or Aerobic?
For Dinner, we enjoy a multi-course menu at Ristorante Da Sandro in Clusane with wines from the Franciacorta. Ristorante Da Sandro offers a regional and Italian cuisine. http://www.dasandroclusane.it/
Friday, 27.04.18
After a jogging / walking session, we enjoy our breakfast, take the ferry to Iseo and then we can stroll over the traditional weekly market of Iseo. There you can buy everything from clothes to shoes to fresh fruit and it is always a great atmosphere. While the Italian women are intensively watching, haggling and buying, the men meet at the bar, chat and relax and enjoy a glass of wine. It has a lot of bars, bistros and restaurants, where you can have a cozy lunch. It goes back to the island by ferry.
After a workout session (Yoga/Aerobic), freshly showered and styled, we will set over to Sulzano and we continue to Pisogne by bus. There we will dine at Ristorante GOEN Ristorante Pizzeria. The restaurant, which opened in the spring of 2015, spoils you with delicious specialties, but also with risotto or pasta. And then a homemade dessert! Let us get surprised.
Saturday, 28.04.18
