WHAT TO DO & WHERE TO GO
Plenty of activities in the open air adds even more health benefits to spa treatments and baths. In the time free from procedures, you can also get around without a car and get to know the local nature and the unique cultural area – Setomaa.

When the weather is suitable, we offer walking or cycling tours organised by our leisure activity leader, which will help you see the local sights and add a moderate amount of exercise to your day. Below you will also find a selection of ideas for leisure activities without going far from the hotel. The area around Värska is a great place to cycle. We have well-maintained cycle paths, varied landscapes, a wealth of cultural and historical sites close to the roads, and a beautiful natural environment to admire in sunshine or rain. The roads aren’t crowded – you can enjoy miles of peace and quiet and just being on your own. The length and route of the cycling tour will be set on a rolling basis before the start of the tour. Up to 8 people can take part. You’ll forget about everything else for the rest of the holiday and breathe easy while you drive. Nordic walking is a form of exercise specially developed for modern people, while retaining all the good and necessary features of normal walking. Nordic walking is easy and accessible for everyone – the movements are simple and natural, and the technique can be learned after just a few hundred metres. A plus point of nordic walk training is that the canes are a great way to stretch before and after exercise. Nordic walk can be practised all year round, is simple and easy to learn, yet safe and accessible to everyone. Our hike follows a gravel and forest road, where you can enjoy pine trees, birch groves, meadows and get acquainted with the old Setomaa villages. In the second half of summer, the forests are rich in berries and mushrooms, and cranberries turn red in the bogs. The length and route of the nordic walking trip will be decided before the start of the trip. Up to 10 people can take part.
