Spring starts a little later in Siusi, in May to be precise. After a long winter season, a feeling of serenity returns to Seis. It is a tranquil silence, time to take a deep breath, enjoy the mountains and watch nature come back to life. It is possible to go hiking once again as the vegetation begins to grow, the forest entices with its scent and the sun with its soothing warmth.
