CHAMONIX HIKING & YOGA Retreat

Touch down in Geneva and meet our group at the arrivals area. Join our group transfer as we make our way to Chamonix through the mountains. Upon arrival, you’ll check in, settle into your room, explore the chalet and in the peaceful surroundings. 

We’ll come together for a gentle yoga session in the afternoon, designed to unwind travel stiffness and ease you into the rhythm of the week. Afterwards, there’s time to relax by the pool or hot tub before we head into town to get our bearings, get some supplies for the week and have our first dinner together, marking the start of our shared alpine adventure.

We’ll begin the day with a buffet-style breakfast before heading out to tackle one of Chamonix’s most iconic hikes. The Lac Blanc trail offers a huge variety of expansive views with time to pause, take photos, and fully absorb the scale of the landscape.

We’ll sit down for a picnic lunch on the mountain, surrounded by dramatic peaks and open skies.  In the late afternoon, we’ll return to the chalet for a restorative yoga session, followed by time to relax by the pool or rest as you need.

In the evening, we head out for a delicious dinner in Chamonix, sharing stories from the trail!

Following breakfast, we head out on foot to Les Gaillands, a stunning landscape including forest, rock face and lake along the river Arve. We’ll meet our guides and spend the morning in a coached rock climbing session. Whether you’re new to climbing or have some experience, the routes will adapted to your level, focusing on building confidence and technique.

We’ll have our picnic lunch at the lake before we return on foot to Chamonix, where you can use the early afternoon for a spa visit at QC Terme or a browse around the beautiful crystal museum. In the late afternoon, yoga offers a chance to soften the body after a demanding day, with pool and relaxation time to follow.

We’ll head out for dinner in the evening, rounding out a full and varied day.

After breakfast, we set off for the Brévent hike, a stunning route offering panoramic views directly opposite Mont Blanc. The terrain is varied and engaging, making for a rewarding day of movement and exploration. 

We’ll stop for lunch on the mountain, giving space to refuel and enjoy the setting before continuing the hike. Back at the chalet, the late afternoon brings yoga to stretch tired legs and restore balance, followed by pool or relaxation time.

We will gather again for dinner - keeping the evenings social and relaxed.

We start with breakfast before heading towards the Aiguille du Midi for an incredible experience at +3850m. Expect endless views, a climbing museum, a hypoxic chamber and direct views to Mont Blanc, the Bossons Glacier, the Vallee Blanche, and perhaps also the Matterhorn. On the way down, we will stop at the middle station, where our hike will begin. 

Picnic lunch will be provided on the mountain, allowing us to stay immersed in the landscape without rushing. Later, we return to the chalet for our final yoga session of the retreat, followed by time to rest, swim, or simply take it all in.

Our final dinner together is a chance to celebrate the week and reflect on the experiences shared.

Wake up, have a final dip in the pool, pack, and join our celebratory breakfast around the long table where we recap the week. We check out of the chalet by 10:30am. 

Our group transfer will carry you back with tired legs, clear minds, fresh perspectives, loads of inspiration, new friendships and new memories shaped by movement, nature, and connection in the mountains.
