Nature trekking in the estate's woods

Experiences

Enter the place with the people who know it

Our experiences grow out of the land, the rhythm of the seasons and the skills of the people who live on the estate every day. They are not catalogue activities: they are different ways into the environment we look after.

Weekend Experience

Once or twice a month, all inclusive

San Lodovico is open all year for ordinary stays. In addition, once or twice a month we host exclusive all-inclusive events: two nights in the lodges, every meal from the Chef’s kitchen and a programme of guided experiences shaped by the season.

They are the deepest way to live the estate: a few guests, one theme, and the time to follow it.

The experiences of your stay

Experiences are always included in your stay. They are arranged when you book, depending on season and weather.

Land

Forest bathing

Walking slowly through the woods, breathing, listening. A guided immersion with Maurizio Maggiorotti, physician and founder of the Accademia Wilderness, to enter the forest with all your senses.

Land2 hours

Wilderness by 4×4

Aboard a 4×4, along estate tracks that would take hours on foot. The guide chooses the route each time, respecting the land and keeping the ride comfortable and safe.

Wildlife2 hours

Natural tracking

Trekking and track-reading along four trails of different difficulty: the Roe Deer (easy), the Elves (easy to moderate), the Fairies (moderate) and the Wolf (advanced). Footprints, trails, feeding signs: you learn to recognise who lives in the wilderness, even without seeing them.

Wildlife2 hours

Wildlife by night

Night-time observation with a thermal viewer, from spots chosen according to the season and the movements of the animals.

Wildlife3 hours

On the trail of the wolf

The biology and ecology of the wolf, first in theory, then in the field looking for signs of its presence on the estate.
