Unraveling the mystery of herbal medicine - Arturo Fasciati

At the top of Parc-Ela, at the foot of the Julier and Septimer Alpine passes, is Bivio, a melting pot of different cultures and languages. Bivio is on the one hand a quiet mountain farming village, but also since Roman times a busy place of passage with many stories and for us the ideal starting point for many beautiful day hikes.

In this alpine environment, we hike through a diverse landscape with moorlands, pastures, dry sites, mountain forests and roaring torrents, encountering a huge variety of flowers and herbs. We smell honey-sweet, colourful flowers, taste aromatic roots and experience the medicinal herbs with all our senses.

We process what we collect directly into tea, food, tinctures, ointments, incense powder and amulets. In order to better understand the traditional application of medicinal herbs, we also want to learn as much as possible about the cultural, climatic and geographical conditions. These shape the lives of the inhabitants of this diverse Alpine landscape.

Only with this understanding is it possible to unravel the secret of this ancient traditional healing method.
