Outdoor summer at Sulden in the National Park Stilfserjoch

Improve health in the midst of the highest mountains of South Tyrol

A holiday at a high altitude of 1900 metres like Solda is very beneficial for your health, says a study conducted some years ago by the Medical University of Innsbruck.

• The low oxygen partial pressure in the air leads to the body exerting itself more even without any fitness training at all. It forms more red blood cells and the thyroid galvanises the metabolism.
• The water from Solda taps is as clean and pure as water that comes from the mountains. This type of water certainly has very positive effects on the skin when used for very normal purposes such as washing, bathing or showering. This applies particularly to people with neurodermatitis or other skin irritations.
• Solda is a fountain of youth effect. Where the air is thinner, more is demanded of the organism. It then produces more young, powerful blood cells that transport oxygen into cells.
• For top class endurance athletes, training at high altitudes has long been part of the programme.
• The shorter the route of solar radiation through the atmosphere, the higher the proportion of short-wave UVB radiation. This is important when it comes to the formation of vitamin D3. As an area of pure air, Solda has optimum UVB radiation. A 14-day stay in Solda – even in the winter months – covers one’s entire vitamin D3 needs for a year.
• The dry and clean air as well as the temperature are responsible for the absence of house dust mites and for a changed composition and concentration of pollen.
