Hermann Achmüller is a true South Tyrolean running legend. He tells us why the Monte Pana is one of his favourite training areas.

“As the hotel managers Birgit and Christian are enthusiastic and experienced runners, you can be assured that the Hotel Cendevaves offers everything a runner’s heart desires. You can’t miss seeing that the Hotel Cendevaves lives according to the motto of the Roman poet Juvenal "A healthy mind in a healthy body". Healthy nutrition is also part and parcel of a healthy lifestyle. In this sense, the Cendevaves cuisine is heavily influenced by that of the Mediterranean. Characterised by lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, olive oil and fish but little meat, traditional Mediterranean cuisine is seasoned with fresh herbs such as sage, thyme, rosemary and basil and olive oil is used in place of animal fats. This diet consists of starch and fibre-rich foods with an abundance of vitamins and minerals.

The location of the Hotel Cendevaves couldn’t be better for running enthusiasts. A variety of running routes of different lengths and levels of difficulty start right on the doorstep, there’s everything from easy morning runs up to demanding, technical trails. It’s great fun running in such a fascinating environment and the effort is barely noticeable with all the fascinating and wonderful things to see.
