Val d’Otro
OTRO Elements owes its name to Val d’Otro, the place where it all began. Nestled underneath the Monte Rosa massif in the rugged Italian Alps, this secluded valley with its authentic people became the stage for all our first back-to-basics gatherings.
Val d’Otro is like a living painting. Its clusters of traditional stone-and-wood huts are like brushstrokes on a canvas. Surrounded by lofty Alpine summits, Val d’Otro can only be reached on foot or by mule – no roads, no cars, no distractions. It invites you to witness nature’s grandeur and your own quiet wonder.
Val d’Otro is also available for private groups. Whether you are planning a yoga retreat, a leadership journey or team gathering, this unique alpine valley offers an inspiring and exclusive setting. Contact us for your unforgettable tailor-made experience.

Our journey led us a stone’s throw from Val d’Otro over rugged ridges to our own mountain retreat centre, ‘Alpe Selvaccia’. As an ideal home base for groups seeking a true back-to-basics haven. Where peace, perspective, and pristine nature awaits.
Alpe Selvaccia features four rustic huts on 22 hectares of meadow and forest, a central campfire, traditional tipi, and a yoga platform with panoramic Monte Rosa views.
You’ll be looked after by our local hosts, whose genuine hospitality creates a homely atmosphere amid towering mountain peaks.
Your perfect mountain retreat is waiting – fully customisable. Whether you seek stillness or adventure, OTRO Elements offers the backdrop and support you need. Imagine sunrise hikes, fireside gatherings, and unforgettable (in)sights.
