01Welcome

Practice in the mountains

Five days in the Austrian Alps, practising outdoors and in a timber studio that looks straight onto the Dachstein. Organic vegetarian food, rooms facing the mountains, and long walks in between.

Your retreat: where you’ll be, what you’ll do and how you’ll feel

01

Where you’ll be…

We stay at Biohotel Bergkristall, an organic hotel in the Austrian Alps, facing the Dachstein mountains.

Your room looks out onto the Dachstein, and so does the space where we practise. Traditional Austrian hospitality, good food and very little noise.

You are welcomed on arrival and shown to your room. From there, the days are simple.

02

What you’ll do…

Mornings open with meditation and yoga, with the mountains in front of you.

In the day we walk: trails, lakes, streams and alpine meadows. Evenings bring a shared vegan and vegetarian dinner, time to talk over the day, and a slow Yin or relaxation practice before sleep.

03

How you’ll feel…

Five days is not long. It is long enough to notice how much quieter the mind becomes when the day has a rhythm: practise, walk, eat, rest.

Most guests leave rested, with a morning practice they can keep, and with people they met on the trail.
