Details

Our Swiss adventure takes us off the big tourism-beaten path to Pontresina, an enchanting village in the upper Engadin valley of the High Alps. Surrounded by the impressive Bernina-Massif, but sheltered from the wind and elements, Pontresina has a rich history & charm tucked into a valley of pristine nature, glacier trails, mountain lakes, and aromatic alpine meadows. In addition to daily yoga, this specially curated 7-night / 8-day adventure will take us on guided excursions to the most magical spots of the region, including one of the most beautiful vantage points above the lakes with its breathtaking glacier viewpoints. We’ll take the UNESCO railway to the Italian-speaking town of Poschiavo to enjoy the medieval architecture, famous for its culinary delicacies. We’ll adventure to the enchanting village of Sils, and take a boat across the lake to beautiful Isola. In our free time, we can enjoy the Bellavita Spa, rent bikes or take a horse-drawn carriage through the Val Roseg Valley.

Less than 4 miles from Saint Moritz, and with a population of less than 3000, Pontresina is the perfect backdrop for our yoga adventure and nature retreat. Our week’s itinerary will rival that of our Iceland itinerary with guided excursions to Muottas Muragl (one of the most beautiful vantage points above the lakes) and Diavolezza where we’ll take a cable car to the breathtaking glacier viewpoints. Hiking through the Alpine trails and meadows is a spectacular life changing experience. We’ll take the UNESCO railway to the Italian speaking town of Poshciavo, spend another day venturing to the enchanting village of Sils, and take a boat acorss the magical lake to Isola. In between, we have two “open days” to enjoy the exclusive Bellavita Spa overlooking the valley, go mountain biking on world famous Alpine trails (electric bikes are available as well!) , or take a horse drawn carriage through the Val Roseg Valley. Accommodations have been arranged at the centrally located and modern Allegra Hotel, which is the only hotel in Pontresina with direct (and included) access to the Bellavita Spa complex complete with indoor and outdoor pools, relaxation room, sauna, steam and more. In addition to the guided excursions above, all breakfasts, lunches and 4 special dinners are included.

Testimonials

info

It was life changing. I have studied yoga with various teachers for decades. I was really impressed with the comprehensive teaching that Suzanne offered in a week. And the charismatic/inviting/welcoming manner in which she did.

Tina, United States

Suzanne was masterful at weaving our experiences during the excursions into her teachings. She also cultivated such a warm feeling of inclusion among all the participants. The spirit among the group was so affirming and I left feeling renewed in a way I have not in years. One Yoga Global did a fabulous job with the excursions, the guides, the retreat center - it was all perfect.

Andy, United States

Suzanne’s presence truly elevated the trip! As a very in-tune leader, she can read the room and choose a more therapeutic yoga sequence after an energetic and active day in the sun. Her theme tying the elements and chakras to our Galapagos experience was insightful. A lovely person and one of the main reasons that I signed up for this adventure. One Yoga Global personnel were always prompt in answering any questions that I had. Will look into their other offerings for future trips.

Rebecca, United States

I am not a regular yoga participant..and Suzanne made me feel welcome. She led great sessions and I left feeling rejuvenated and ready for the day. This was a super positive cohesive group who all supported each other. The guides were so knowledgable and personable. The logistics were superb and everything ran like clockwork.
