Yoga & Hiking Weekend
Take a weekend and gift yourself a healthy dose of adventure, hiking and yoga in the magnificent setting at the foot of the Morterasch glacier valley in the company of a small group of like-minded people.
Join us for this Yoga & Hiking experience in the quiet & authentic surroundings of the Morterasch valley (Engadine), nestled in the heart of the Swiss Graubunden region, with views of towering mountain peaks, the glacier itself and plenty of fresh air.... a place that instantly carries you into the natural spirit and invites you to let go and focus on what is right in front of your eyes, with plenty of time to just Be and forget about time…
This event is led by Celine Kahn, mountain leader, and Giada Rocca, yoga teacher.
What's the plan?
Our home for the weekend is the Glacier Hotel Morterasch, an unique place located at the very entrance of the glacial valley which faces the Morterasch glacier and is surrounded by larch forests and incredible mountains. This location is the only one in the valley, adding a dose of seclusion and peace, as well as unparalleled direct access to mountain hiking trails.
We rise with the sun, we wake up with an energizing morning Vinyasa Yoga practice and welcome the day (yes! these are our sun salutations).
After a delicious hearty breakfast in the hotel, we join Celine for an amazing day-hike through the mountains , embracing the challenge as we immerse ourselves in nature, drinking it in and recharging our batteries. Both day-hikes will be approximately 10-12 km long with a maximum of 700m of ascent and the pace will be adjusted to suit everyone in the group :)
Wild pic-nic lunch with amazing panoramas included!
Late afternoons are for restorative yoga practice to explore the deep relaxation benefits of Yin Yoga asanas & pranayama breathing exercises as well as a candlelight meditation.
Food will be vegetarian & delicious, a chance to delight in gathering around the table to enjoy our meals showered with a healthy dose of laughs.
So join us, gift yourself this experience to come and enjoy the beauty of the mountains, create and share memories, move the Energy around and relax knowing that nothing is in a rush
