Nourishment for wellbeing for our bodies and this place on Earth
Piemontese food, the birthplace of Italy’s slow food, is delicious!
We will savour it at local restaurants in the village to support the local economy. Food will be supplied through local produce and biologically grown, where available. At least one dinner will be at MVI Campus with pizza oven and fireplace under the stars.
Vegetarian food will be the default choice. Vegan is possible, while some responsible meat options are available, too. We will try our best to tend to special needs. The traditions in this mountain region offer cheese as a common ingredient. Find out more about the restaurants and other activities to enjoy in Ostana.
What is included in the cost?
Basic fee: 600 EUR
This basic fee covers the support from the international trainers, the course locations at Centro Culturale and MVI campus rent, plus the organizational fees for local logistical support through the MVI team. Coffee/tea, fruit and snacks during the mornings on Campus are included in your course fee. Welcome dinner and farewell dinner on MVI Campus are also included.
Not included: Your choice of lodging. All additional meals other than welcome and farewell dinner will be covered in place by yourself.
Additional and optional Supporter’s fee:
You are invited to practice generosity to your possibility to support a future participant with less accessibility for next year's course offer. We want to include a diverse group to enjoy these course offers that allow for meaningful connections and networking. Please contact us in advance or donate in situ in the MVI donation box.
Breakfast
In all accommodations except Airbnb, breakfast is included. Campers and Foresteria guests can enjoy Italian breakfast or a coffee at "Viso a Viso", where we will start off each morning as a group.
Lunch and Dinner
Lunch will be provided at "Viso a Viso" and dinner at one of the other local restaurants or MVI. Lunch and dinner will be on a pay-as-you-go basis.
We will generally enjoy all our meals together as a group, yet, you are also free to explore the place on your own.
Lodging - Sogni d'oro
There are various accommodation options available according to your needs and possibilities: Choose between camping or glamping at MVI Campus as the cheapest option, followed by shared rooms in the Foresteria next to Centro Culturale with kitchen in a cozy mountain youth hostel style, or in hotels like the Agriturismo "A Nostro Mizoun" or "Galaberna", or in shared apartments or renovated stylish AirBnbs rentals in local mountain style; a tree house is available, too.
