Welcome to Edelweiss

Take a step back from your busy schedule to rest & reset. Relax, enjoy, and use this retreat to soak up the Magical vibes that this Valley has to offer.

Yoga means “to bind”, “to unite”. This centuries-old discipline connects body and mind, people to each other and people to their environment. Because we are all connected to each other but also to nature, we have curated this format of  Yoga Holidays combining Yoga and hiking as an opportunity to anchor in the beauty and the force of nature and connect us to the sacred, to the most sacred space there is, our own body. We will share both dynamic and restorative yoga classes to apprehend and activate our subtle energies, silent walks in nature to create states of consciousness inviting new experiences, pranayama practices to calm the mind and regenerate our immune system. We warmly welcome you during 7 days and 6 nights in our magnificent yoga chalet at the foot of the highest peaks of the Alps. An opportunity to take the time to be silent. Contemplate. To receive.

“If a place is a source of peace, can this peace radiate to those who inhabit it? And if so, how far – like a stone thrown into a pond – will this peace extend? ” Rick Bass

Yoga Practice

Hiking in Chamonix

Chamonix is the perfect place to embrace the outdoors and experience deep connection with the surrounding nature. On Friday and Saturday, we will explore the mountains with full days of hiking planned. Our hikes will be lead by an experienced Mountain guide from Compagnie des guides de Chamonix who has extensive knowledge about the area of Chamonix as well as all of the necessary training to keep us safe and happy during our mountain adventure.

Nourish yourself

Brunch and dinner will be served at the Chalet  All meals will be prepared by our resident chef whose mission is to take you on a taste journey through locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, fruit and vegetables.

Refresh and reconnect

We want you to leave your retreat feeling as rejuvenated as possible so we would love for you to enjoy our Chalet Sauna, or take a long hot bath in one of our beautiful en suite bathrooms. In Chamonix there is a lot to explore in your free time, some of the activity options include hiking, climbing, and visiting the local market on Saturday. If the weather isn’t so bright and sunny then we can host a cosy Yoga movie night, or simply read, chill, and take time for yourself around an open fire. We are very excited to create a connection between the hiking and Yoga communities so whether you are well versed in the mountains or well stretched on the mat, we are confident there will be something new for everybody to experience by bringing these two special practices together.
