If you are looking for escape places where you can have an unusual experience, the “Badent da Fen” in Livigno can absolutely be included in your special list. A new way to involve all 5 senses with a "stay" inside a chalet made entirely from hay.
The original idea of “La Mandira SPA” borrows from the peasant world. For centuries, in fact, farmers have been resting on hay and for decades, in cutting-edge spas the "hay bath” is among the treatments most appreciated by guests. The “Badent da Fen” experience, in Livigno dialect, goes beyond the now classic “hay bath”, to involve body, mind and spirit (and all 5 senses) in a moment of total, authentic well-being.
To access the “Badent from Fen”, we go through the SPA of the Hotel Lac Salin SPA & Mountain Resort, Mandira SPA, (source of inspiration for the creation of the hay house), also linked to the concept of natural well-being and concrete contact with the territory.
Here is the famous herb corner, the “Pharmacy”, where the fragrant Alpine herbs with which the team of SPA & WELLNESS prepares “made-to-measure” herbal teas for guests. Crossing the swimming pool area you reach the external garden, where the little house is located.Badent from Fen”, a sort of exclusive “annex” of the Mandira SPA, where you can try the experience literally surrounded by walls of hay. At the entrance, a hay sculpture representing a woman sitting on two sheaves evokes the pleasant treatment that follows once you enter the magical fairy-tale place.
The view is satisfied by the internal furnishings: hay is naturally the main element; the massage beds are covered with hay and a tree with pine cones acts as an element of union with the relaxation rooms of the Mandira Spa, whose environment is in harmony with the territory. The sense of smell immediately comes into play, flooded by the pleasant scent that the therapist nebulizes inside a pleasant olfactory awakening. The knowledge of herbs as natural remedies has allowed the Mandira SPA to enhance the contact with Alpine nature by offering an exclusive face and body treatment: surrounded by the beneficial effects of hay, among the perfumes, infusions and oils, the ritual "Badent from Fen” reactivates the inner energy for a new vitality. The treatment continues with the effect of special bells on the chakras: hearing also comes into play and is stimulated by this beneficial sound.
The face is cleansed and massaged with the Mandira ritual, the skin is hydrated with products from the brand new Mandira Alpine Care line, specially designed for the signature treatments of the Mandira SPA. The mask prepared with Apotheke herbs regenerates facial features. The body massage is performed with draining Mandira Alpine Care oil, a panacea for the back and legs: touch is involved for the entire duration of the "Badent da Fen".
