Unraveling the mystery of herbal medicine - Arturo Fasciati

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

In this alpine environment, we walk through a diverse landscape with moorland, 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.

What we collect we process directly into tea, food, tinctures, ointments, incense powder and amulets. In order to better understand the traditional use 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 mystery of this ancient traditional healing method.
