An alpine cottage that feels like it could be prescribed as a remedy for stress, with a view so soothing it’s almost therapeutic. A hot cup of tea in hand, and time seems to pass unnoticed. But that’s okay because there’s no need to rush here. It’s like stepping back in time, with blissful silence, peace, and that elusive thing called time. Locana is a pause from the crazy world of technology. For those yearning for grandma’s hospitality. Everything here moves at the pace of a mountain stream, which you can admire through the huge window.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to give up 21st-century comforts! The hosts have thought of everything—they’ve installed stair lifts and adapted bathrooms for those with disabilities. And for the visually impaired, there are special tactile maps! Because at Pra di Brec, everyone is welcome.
For those who like to work up a sweat on vacation, Locana has real treasures in store. Electric bikes for the lazy enthusiasts, via ferratas for the adventurous, and beautiful mountain trails for everyone in between. In winter, there are snowshoes and skis waiting. And what’s a vacation without good food? Nearby, you’ll find treasures of Piedmontese cuisine—truffles, artisanal cheeses, and wines.

So pack your bags, sweaters, and sneakers, leave your watches at home, and... benvenuti a Pra di Brec!
