October Yoga & Hiking Retreat (Italian Alps) | Foliage Retreat Italy
The Art of Letting Go - Fall & Flow
Step into the Italian Alps as the mountains turn golden and the air becomes crisp.
This 5-day yoga and hiking retreat in the Aosta Valley is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and gently let go — supported by movement, nature, and the reflective energy of the autumn season.
Set in Valtournenche, at the foot of the Matterhorn (Monte Cervino), this retreat offers a beautiful balance of active days in nature and time to rest and restore.
Yoga, Movement & Reflection
Guided by the theme Fall & Flow, we explore a balance of dynamic Vinyasa yoga and more grounding, restorative practices.
Each day includes yoga and moments of reflection, creating space for clarity, forgiveness, and inner calm.
Whether you are looking for stillness, a fresh perspective, or simply time away, this retreat supports you in reconnecting with yourself in a natural and gentle way.
Guided Hiking in the Italian Alps
This retreat combines yoga with active mountain trekking in the Italian Alps, offering a deeper connection to nature through movement.
Our program includes:
• one full-day hike (4–5 hours) with a mountain picnic
• one half-day hike ending at a cosy mountain hut
These walks are done at a steady and mindful pace, but do require a moderate level of fitness.
Compared to our September retreat, which focuses on gentler walks and forest bathing, this experience is more active and suited to those who enjoy longer time on the trails.
Wellness & Relaxation
After time in the mountains, you can unwind in the hotel’s spa, relax in the sauna, or book a massage or holistic treatment.
This retreat offers a more active alternative to a traditional wellness retreat in Italy, while still allowing space for rest, recovery, and balance.
Local Experience
We’ll also spend a relaxed afternoon in the Roman town of Aosta, exploring its ancient sites, enjoying a simple Italian lunch at a famous focacceria, tasting local wine and cheese, having a “passeggiata and gelato” (walk & ice cream) before returning back to Valtrounance.
These moments add a sense of connection to the culture and traditions of the valley.
A Small & Personal Retreat
We keep our retreats intentionally small, with a maximum of 12–15 women.
This allows for a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where you can feel at ease — whether you come on your own or with a friend.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for women who enjoy being active in nature and feel ready for a more energising experience.
You don’t need to be an expert hiker, but a moderate level of fitness is important to fully enjoy the longer walks.
Many women join on their own, often looking for movement, fresh air, and time to reset in a natural setting.
