About The Retreat
Our wellness retreat offers the opportunity to connect back to the nature in the form of hikes, yoga and outdoor yoga (weather depending), outdoor activities, spa and massages. There are no dietary limitations, so whether you're a meat eater, vegetarian or vegan, like a glass of wine or not, you're more than welcome to join us. Whether you're travelling solo, with a friend or as a couple, we welcome everyone! A complete switch off after a busy summer! We will be doing some amazing walks and hikes, hop on a cable car and enjoy stunning scenery, relax at your hotel's spa, where you can also book some treatments. We will practice gentle yin yoga daily, which is sutiable for all levels. You will have an unlimited entry to your 4* mountain hotel spa with the opportunity to book various treatments from massages to facials. Our retreats have been designed to take you out of your day to day life and bring you back to nature and yourself. In terms of your fitness levels, the walks and hikes are suited to everyone with a fairly good fitness level. There are no extremes, however, please make sure you're able to walk for a longer period of time (approx. 3 hours). Switch off and soak some positive energy on your well-deserved wellness break.
