The mixture of alpine larch trees with silver birch, chestnut and other evergreen fir trees give the most incredible foliage experience during October and November in the Aosta Valley. Beyond its scenic beauty, autumn carries profound symbolism, evokes nostalgia, invites us to seek comfort, and reminds us of the beauty of embracing and accepting change. Just like the falling leaves you have to let go in order to move forward, grow and heal. This will be our emphasis of our retreat, we build our hikes, yoga and wellness sessions around change and letting go… and we might just go and do some wine tasting as it’s harvesting time too!
We will be staying in Valtournenche, at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn (Monte Cervino) at a beautiful Alpine Hotel with Spa and at the doorstep of great hiking roots.
To keep the intimacy of our retreats we take a maximum of 15 women.
