Intense, resinous, balsamic. Stimulating for the body and spirit, the Sarentino Valley pine is a mountain jewel and precious base for wellness treatments derived from nature. From the “Pinus Sarentensis” one extracts a “blessed” oil considered restorative for millennia. The Sarentino Valley is practically synonymous with the mountain pine. Here the Pinus Sarentensis grows above 1700m on the sun exposed slopes. There is a place on the outskirts of the woods where one can discover all the virtues of the green gem in remise en forme treatments: the hotel Bad Schörgau offers a package of three days at half-pension that includes a bath with mountain pine essential oil (capable of alleviating articular pain and infusing an overall sense of well-being), a peeling with the fl our obtained from pine cones (to exfoliate and purify the skin) and a bath shower that revitalizes, refreshes, and favours skin regeneration.
