Sensory Experiences at Hotel Castell
June 26-29, 2025, Hotel Castell in Zuoz, Engadin, Switzerland.
In today’s working and living environment, lots of people have lost contact to their senses. However, our senses are essential. We need them to arouse a deeper feeling of being alive, to generate joy and happiness. Heidi*s Sensory Experiences awaken your senses. The experiences activate your joy, connect you with yourself, with nature, with human beings. They inspire your everyday life in a lasting way.
Heidi*s bespoke Sensory Journeys are offered in three regions of Europe: Lake Constance Bregenzerwald in western Austria, Engadin St. Moritz in Switzerland, and Tuscany in Italy.
By addressing your senses in a playful, unfamiliar way, you will feel wonderfully alive and vibrant. Think of the experiences as curated, bespoke units, bookable for three or five days for example. They are based on three pillars: Sensorial experiences in nature, tasting & smelling experiences, community experiences in the respective regions. Heidi*s Mission: „I’ll take you with me on a journey of sense-awakening experiences to arouse joy and happiness.”

Sensory Experiences in Lake Constance Bregenzerwald Region
Bregenzerwald, near Lake Constance in western Austria, is a cultivated mountainous landscape packed full of tradition and at the same time innovative spirit, craftsmanship, culture, and smooth alpine beauty.
Smell the fresh air of a forest. Listen to the different bird songs and feel the breeze rustling in the leaves of the trees.
Walking in alpine mountains alongside a flushing mountain river is the perfect scenery for connecting with nature.
Early in the morning, when daylight first breaks, walking in the moorland of Bregenzerwald will open your senses to the magic of nature.
Be it an alp cheese tasting, a visit in a recommended restaurant, you will be guided to train your nose, tongue and eyes.
Heidi*s Awaken your Senses Cooking Course is a special method of preparing food. It focuses on the process of smelling, touching, tasting.
Our concept of wine tasting is different to common wine tastings. It is not about being educated in wines, but about experiencing wines.
Visiting small villages, getting into conversations with local people – you will be touched by their patterns of living.
Even though Bregenzerwald in western Austria is generally not well known, it is well-known by insiders of architecture and craftsmanship.
Some experiences shift our thought patterns. Being guest at the private observatory of Paul is one of these experiences.
Walking in a glittering snowy landscape, in silence, is a magical experience. A feast for your eyes, for your sense of movement.
A night under the stars. Imagine the absolute tranquility of no cars, no human noise, just calmness and the infinite starry sky.
Heidi*s experience service is custom-made according to the couple’s or single person’s interests.
Sensory Experiences in Engadin St. Moritz Region
The Swiss valley Engadin is known for its pristine nature and epic scale, for its forests, mountains, alpine lakes. The special light of Engadin isn’t just an advertising slogan, it is truly amazing. I wouldn’t have believed it either, before having seen it by myself.
Interested in the local’s way of living and working? We arrange possibilities for personal talks and visits.
Train your sense of taste and sense of smell by tasting local food in a culinary tour in selected villages of Engadin.
The hidden lake Lej Nair near St. Moritz is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic in the scenery of a fairytale landscape.
Our sense of smell is the most primal. None of our other senses has such a direct effect on our mood and wellbeing.
The Engadin light is creating an overwhelming scenery. The enchanting sunlight covers the mountains in gold.
Driving up to Pass Julier at 2,284-meter is a powerful sense-awakening experience, especially when taking a walk.
Sensory Experiences in Tuscany Region
The romance of Tuscany is unrevealed and so too is the beauty of its landscapes, people and regional food and wines.
Getting involved in local life is one way of creating resonance in your holidays. Tuscany’s living culture is a world on its own.
Tuscany is well known for its restaurants, wine estates, and excellent wines. Our Sensory Tour in the vineyards is unique & novel.
Vineyard Bathing is the practice of immersing in a vineyard with all our senses according to the well-known term Forest Bathing.
Heidi*s service is available in three regions of Europe. Lake Constance Bregenzerwald, in western Austria, Engadin St. Moritz in Switzerland and Tuscany in Italy.
