the amazing things you'll be doing
Sun salutations and skiing in the Swiss Alps.
Our unique yoga skiing retreat enables you to get away from it and get into it in our Alpine paradise. Our resort is perched high up in the mountain village of Wengen, a UNESCO world site of beauty. Wengen is world famous for its spectacular views and has no cars or traffic.
Start the day with a gentle yoga session or an early morning walk to warm up your muscles. Follow this with a healthy breakfast and head off for a day of adventure. Choose from skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, hiking, sledging or even ice-skating and curling! Your ski pass covers the whole of the Jungfrau region; Mannlichen, kleine Scheidegg and Murren. If you’ve never skied before we will book you into ski-school. End the day with a gentle yoga class and a pampering massage. Dine in one of the excellent local restaurants and relax at night with a glass of wine or a hot chocolate under the stars on your own private terrace.

how this holiday makes a difference
|
Wengen is a UNESCO world heritage site and is protected by local laws as a conservation area. It is also a car-free village which maintains the clean mountain air. Our guests will be met on arrival and briefed on mountain safety, preservation and conservation. We operate with local ski guides and mountain guides to help our customers learn more about how they can respect the mountain and respect their bodies at the same time. We offer ski lessons and ski guiding with trained local professionals who will take in the sites of the famous Jungfrau region. Ski passes are included and part of the payment goes to the upkeep and protection of this nature reserve.
Guests will stay at a locally run family hotel and will get the chance to meet locals and learn about the history of the area. Three meals are included in the price and the rest of the time guests are encouraged to try out some of the small local restaurants and services, we provide an info pack on arrival for this. Wengen is a spotlessly clean, safe and environmentally friendly part of the Swiss Alps. The Swiss standards of recycling are leagues above the rest of Europe and we explain these procedures and encourage guests to respect these policies and to get involved. As a company we donate 10% of our annual profit to Tsunami affected regions. We operate as a paperless office and have strict recycling policies. For every guest who attends one of our yoga holidays, we will plant a tree in a new forest we've started in Niger, Africa to conquer desertification. Guests will receive a certificate and will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and to monitor their tree, which will be named after them. As of September 2008, we will off-set the carbon emissions for return flights within Europe, and we will off-set the emissions for the outward flight of any Europe to Asia flights if the guest offset the return journey. Guests will also receive a certificate for this. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
