FOMO – are you familiar with this buzzword? It’s short for “fear of missing out”, a phenomenon that likes to strike in everyday life and sometimes even makes an appearance on holiday.

All good things come in threes, so the saying goes. Among these good things is the trio of hosts at the Pfösl nature hotel. Brigitte, Eva and Daniel have created an oasis of well-being with a holistic concept in South Tyrol, near Bolzano. The complex is located on a high plateau and surrounded by meadows and forests. It is framed by the three Dolomite peaks Schlern, Rosengarten and Latemar. Nature, mindfulness and indulgence are the main priorities at the Pfösl. How fitting that the number three also represents perfection.
Watch a blade of grass in the wind, watch the sun over the mountains, listen to the birds chirping, look up at the sky, look up at the sky a little longer, breathe in, breathe out, breathe deeply. Nature grounds us, nature makes us calm, nature helps us to leave everyday life behind. In Puradies, we encounter nature in many different ways.
