Summit Hike and Yoga Week

Date: 30 Aug – 6 Sep

Requirements:
This holiday is perfect if you have a basic fitness level, regularly engage in endurance training, and ideally have some experience with alpine hiking. Expect longer hikes than our regular summer weeks, with routes covering 600–1200 meters of altitude gain and lasting between 4–7 hours each day. You need to be sure-footed and enjoy walking uphill. What to bring: A good pair of hiking boots, a hiking rucksack, and functional clothing are essential. We will provide hiking poles, and a detailed packing list will be sent after booking to help you prepare for your adventure.

Program:

Saturday: Arrival at your home for the week, settle into your cozy room, and soak in the breathtaking views from your balcony. In the evening enjoy a welcome drink, and you meet your fellow guests over a delicious, plant-based dinner.
