The community on the retreat and the community of the huette. It made me feel so warm and cozy!! And hopeful. But it’s tough because I loved it all. Truly, everything came together to make it the best weekend.
-Kelsi
I had the most incredible experience at this yoga retreat! Erin was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, supportive, and truly inspiring. I learned so much and left feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected in my practice. Everything about this retreat exceeded my expectations — I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Where you’ll sleep
The inn, hotel, farmhouse and chapel are nestled close together in quiet seclusion. At 978 meters altitude, on a quiet meadow hilltop, idyllically nestled in nature, its rich history dates back to the 13th century.
The Classic Room exudes the flair of the historic main building, as it was then with cozy sloping ceilings. The Country House Rooms are traditionally furnished with stylized floral patterns and handcrafted furniture, wooden floors. The country house rooms have a terrace or balcony and are located in the country house and in the main building.
