What to Do When It Rains in Madonna di Campiglio? 10 Tips for You!

Rain in the mountains has a unique charm — discover it with us!

You wait all year for your holiday and… it rains! It may sound like a disaster, but it doesn’t have to be. Follow Chalet Fogajard’s tips to make your stay unforgettable — even if it’s a little wet!

Exactly so take this wise saying to heart: discovering the mountains in the rain can give you unique emotions. As long as it’s not a thunderstorm with thunder and lightning, dress appropriately and get outside! There’s nothing more fascinating than being in the woods with a light drizzle and mist, which is often just low-lying cloud. Fog is really more of a city thing.

We can assure you that when it’s pouring with rain outside, everything becomes magical at Chalet Fogajard. Here are 10 suggestions on what to do when the weather is “bad”:

Head outside, dress warmly, put on a lovely poncho, and let yourself be captivated by a walk through the woods in the rain.
How about a warm, rejuvenating sauna? After your walk, you’ll appreciate it even more—even in summer!
Choose one of our board games and become a child again—fun and togetherness are guaranteed.
Pick a book from our library, make yourself comfortable on the sofa, and feel right at home.
With a lovely cup of tea in your hands, gaze at the landscape through the windowpanes… you’ll start to notice even the tiniest changes. True meditation, accessible to everyone. Not a tea lover? A good glass of red wine works just as well.
Start a crossword puzzle.
Learn a few words in the Trentino dialect.
Snuggle up under the duvet and enjoy a rejuvenating nap, perhaps with a steaming herbal tea on the bedside table. When else do you ever get to enjoy the “dolce far niente” of doing absolutely nothing, as you would at home?
Let go of negative thoughts and smile.
Turn off your phone and immerse yourself in what is happening around you.

Great, now you’re ready! Book your holiday and fully embrace whatever nature has in store for you!

The time for a true Digital Detox holiday is NOW!

I don’t think there has ever been a time when a Digital Detox in Madonna di Campiglio has been more necessary than now, given what we have been through and are still going through. For more than a year now, our interpersonal relationships have been confined to the screen of a smartphone or a computer.

Without even mentioning our grandparents, who were forced into isolation and had to adapt to technology that was often difficult for them to understand; or the children and teenagers, like our own kids, who, between remote learning and being deprived of social interaction, will carry the consequences of this period with them… unless we act quickly with long periods of Digital Detox—returning to beauty, to a sense of wonder, to passion, to sport and, why not, to the healthy kind of boredom that gives us time to reflect.

And then there’s you, the “middle generation,” the majority of our regular guests, who, on top of maintaining interpersonal relationships via smartphone, have had to carry out most, if not all, of their work while constantly connected.

And so, you may ask, what’s the solution? We don’t have any solutions, but a stay at Chalet Fogajard in Madonna di Campiglio, approached with the right mindset and a willingness to embrace at least a period of Digital Detox, is certainly a good starting point for reclaiming your time. Your real time. The genuine, tangible kind—not the virtual one.

At Chalet Fogajard, you’ll have the opportunity to switch all your devices OFF and switch your life and your relationships ON.

One of the first steps is to let go of thoughts about what will need to be organized when you return, your commitments, and your new work projects. Stop. You’re on holiday, so your mind should be free and light. Simply managing to do this will stop you from constantly checking your phone and, why not, you might even forget about it. Bring a camera with you, like we used to do in the old days. It will keep you from reaching for your smartphone every time you want to take a photo or capture a memory. Carry those memories with you in your heart; there’s no need to share them online immediately with people who aren’t there with you.
