TUTTO BENE CLUB RETREATS
ROOTED DOLOMITES
30 July - 2 August 2026
Alta Badia, Italy
Your reset. In the Dolomites.
Four days of morning Pilates, slow hikes through some of the most dramatic landscape in Europe, long dinners built around local seasonal produce, and evenings that stretch on because nobody wants them to end. Active enough to feel it in your body. Slow enough to actually come back to yourself.
Rooted Dolomites is a small-group retreat — created together with Hotel La Perla in Corvara — for people who want to move well, eat beautifully, and spend a few days in very good company.
Are you in?
Vita Lenta Retreats was founded by Anna and Valentina, friends who share a passion for creating thoughtful retreats that bring together movement, creativity, and conscious living.
Valentina is a certified health coach and Pilates instructor who runs her own private Pilates studio in the Italian Alps. Anna is a photographer and art director, bringing her visual sensitivity and creative vision into the concept and atmosphere of each retreat. Together, we design and host every retreat with great attention to detail — from the movement practices to the spaces we choose and the moments we create for our guests.

THE PLACE, THE FOOD, THE PILATES
The Dolomites do something to you. The air is different. The scale of everything — the peaks, the meadows, the silence, makes it easier to slow down and actually be where you are.
We're based in Corvara, in the heart of the Alta Badia, one of the most beautiful valleys in South Tyrol. Each morning starts with Pilates before the day picks up pace. Sessions are designed to work with the mountain setting — grounding, focused, and genuinely good for your body. Then the day opens up: slow hikes through Alta Badia's trails, free time to wander or simply do nothing, and evenings anchored by long dinners that celebrate everything this region does so well.
THE ACCOMODATION
We couldn't have imagined a better home for this retreat. Hotel La Perla is a legendary address in Corvara — a family-run, five-star hotel that has been welcoming guests to the Dolomites for generations. It's warm, impeccably run, and completely rooted in the place it belongs to. Staying here doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels like being a very well looked-after guest in someone's exceptional mountain home.
how to get there:
We offer a pick-up service from Bolzano airport or train station.
good to know:
We will create a WhatsApp group one week prior to your arrival,
where we will share information about the weather, packing suggestions (a luggage list), and any other important updates.
THE ROOMS
La Perla's rooms are exactly what you'd want after a day in the mountains: generous, beautifully designed, and deeply comfortable.
Many have balconies looking directly onto the Dolomite peaks. The interiors blend Alpine craftsmanship with understated elegance — nothing fussy, everything considered. You'll sleep well here.
MANGIARE BENE
"eating well"
Food is not an afterthought at Rooted Dolomites — it's part of the whole point. Alta Badia has one of the highest concentrations of Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy, and La Perla's kitchen takes the region's produce seriously.
Breakfasts are nourishing and unhurried. Lunches happen on the mountain. Dinners are the kind you linger over — local, seasonal, paired with good wine, eaten with people you're starting to feel like you've known for years. Expect a mix between alpine and mediterranean food, venison from the valley, cheeses from nearby farms, and desserts that make the hike feel entirely justified.
This is more than just eating—it’s about connecting with the culture, the land, and each other through the love of food.
During the retreat, we will enjoy daily brunch, dinner, snacks, and drinks prepared by the kitchen team.
