CHAMONIX, FRENCH ALPS

13—18 SEPTEMBER

Bookings will open 20/7, at 8 PM CET.

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to our favorite mountain town — Chamonix in the French alps.
There is nothing we love more than waking up with the mountains just outside our doorstep. Experience some of the most breathtaking views of Mont Blanc on our days filled with hiking, yoga in our backyard, lunch stops in cute mountain huts, dinner outside and breakfast in the morning sun.

HIKING & YOGA

During our days together we’ll blend daily hikes through breathtaking mountain landscapes and when weather allows, we’ll have yoga in our garden with our lovely friend Emma.
Each day we’ll explore a new trail, expect lush alpine meadows and panoramic views overlooking the Mont Blanc massif. We will have two guides with us to make our days extra special. Our aim is to have fun and enjoy the beauty of the mountains.

Our hikes will as always be a little depending on weather, but expect to be out in the mountains for 4-6 hours per day, walking around 10-15km with 700-1200 meters of elevation.
Our guides will adapt the pace to the group and we have the possibility of splitting into two groups if needed.

OUR CHALET

Our home in the alps—tucked away within a ten minute walk from Chamonix centre is our beautiful alp style chalet.
When we are not moving we are resting, enjoying this beautiful space, having dinners together, reading a book, chatting <3

EAT

Food is an essential part of our retreats and we couldn’t be happier to have our best friend and chef Mica with us, she will cook most of our meals during the retreat and we promise you will leave feeling inspired to spend more time in the kitchen.

Besides this, we have planned a unique dinner up in the mountains, fingers crossed weather allows us to go up there — if it does, it will be a special memory for all of us. If you have any food allergies, please let us know and we will adjust the menu :)
