Foliage Retreat – Letting Go, Clarity & Connection
Gentle hiking, daily yoga & autumn reflections in the Aosta Valley
As the mountains turn golden and the air becomes crisp, we invite you to join us for a soul-soothing escape in nature’s most reflective season. Nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn mountain, this retreat is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and let go — supported by two daily yoga, gentle guided hikes, and the beauty of autumn all around.
Together we’ll explore the theme of letting go, creating space for forgiveness, clarity, and peace. Whether you’re looking for stillness, fresh perspective, or just a few quiet days in good company, this retreat offers the perfect mix of movement, nature, and nourishing rest.
Our hikes include one full-day mountain trek with a picnic, and a half-day hike ending with lunch at a cosy mountain hut. After a day on the trails, you can unwind in the hotel’s spa, relax in the sauna or book a soothing massage or holistic body treatment to restore and deeply rest.
We’ll also enjoy a fun afternoon in the town of Aosta, visiting the ancient 2050 years old roman sites, tasting local wine and cheese — and ending the day with a relaxed pizza dinner, Italian-style.
Come solo or with a friend — you’ll be warmly welcomed.
