Set in the Austrian Alps, this 8 day retreat blends backcountry skiing, ice climbing, and resort days with life changing daily yoga practices designed to keep your body resilient and your mind steady. You’ll spend your days eating traditional Austrian foods, exploring frozen valleys, learning new alpine skills, and stepping just beyond your comfort zone — then return to a Panoramic Sauna to slow down, stretch, recover, and connect.
The Rhythm of the Week
Each day is intentionally designed to balance challenge and recovery:
2 Guided backcountry ski touring days in alpine terrain
2 Guided ice climbing days on frozen waterfalls
A local ski area day for flow and fun
A snowshoe and reflection day with optional spa services in peaceful winter landscapes
Daily yoga for mobility, breath, and integration
Evenings are slow and grounding — sauna sessions, nourishing food, deep rest, and meaningful conversation with a small group of adventurous souls.
Who This Retreat Is For
This experience is designed for adventurous intermediate skiers and snowboarders who are comfortable on blue and black runs and ideally have some backcountry experience/ gear. Our ideal guest is excited to expand into bigger backcountry terrain as well as other technical winter activities.
You don’t need prior ice climbing experience — just curiosity, resilience, and a love for being outside in winter environments.
Remember, t’s not about being the strongest or most advanced. It’s about being willing to try, to grow, and to trust yourself in new terrain. Step outside of your comfort zone and discover what you are truly capable of.
