Spirit of the Wild
Spirit of the Wild, a programme developed by Princess Irene of the Netherlands, invites you to reconnect with the living world and brings together silence, story, and nature’s wisdom. From the kingdom of rocks to rivers, plants, animals and humans. Every day opens a new dialogue with nature – reminding us we are part of, not apart from, life.

Location
Far from daily noise and routine, the Italian Alps offer a landscape of silence, simplicity, and raw beauty. Here, surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, the Spirit of the Wild programme finds its natural home — a setting where nature itself becomes your teacher.
Few places invite slowing down like Alpe Selvaccia. Four huts stand scattered across an alpine meadow, with the Monte Rosa massif rising in front of you. At times, the only sounds are the river below or the wind through the trees. Here you live simply — cooking together, sleeping close to nature, moving with the rhythm of the day. This simplicity is what makes the land itself start to speak. For Spirit of the Wild it is the perfect ground: quiet, raw, and expansive enough to lose yourself in — and perhaps to find yourself again.
Activities
The heart of Spirit of the Wild lies in its simplicity. This is not about doing more, this is about being more present. The programme opens doors to the natural world in ways that remind you: we are not separate from nature, but part of it.
Throughout the days, you encounter nature through kingdoms of the wild step by step. One day you explore the presence of rocks and minerals, the next you meet the plant or animal world, before turning to the human realm. Each theme is brought to life through walks in the valley, shared reflection, and guided practices that help you listen in new ways. There is time for silence, as well as the possibility of a solo night in the wild. Together, these experiences weave a journey that shows how each world is part of a larger whole.
