Mindful Skiing

We teach you proven techniques for developing mental calm, physical relaxation and awareness whilst in motion. These can be applied both on the ski slopes and anywhere else, any time. Most of the day is spent on the mountain, practising what you’ve learned, including one whole day with a high mountain guide (you should be a competent skier or snowboarder, comfortable on red pistes).

You leave feeling more present, joyful and energised, with tools you can use for life.

The Alps Retreats Centre is an authentic 1830s Alpine farmhouse in a magnificent setting. Beautifully renovated, it combines traditional Alpine character with contemporary design and comfort.

It nestles peacefully among stunning mountains and waterfalls, and at the foot of a 14-kilometre ski run.

With ample space for up to 11 adults, the four bedrooms all have super-comfortable beds and private bathrooms with calming rain-effect showers and underfloor heating. In the open living areas there are plenty of sofas and armchairs and a superb woodburner. 

And you can soak up the fabulous mountain views from the large outdoor hot tub.

Sixt Fer à Cheval is a beautiful French Alpine village 75 minutes from Geneva airport and train station. Surrounded by the largest nature reserve in Haute-Savoie, it is a place of inspiring beauty, peace and calm. 

Sixt is part of Le Grand Massif, France’s fourth-largest linked ski area. The village encompasses the majestic mountain valley of the Cirque du Fer à Cheval and the Cascade du Rouget, known as the ‘Queen of the Waterfalls’.

During your retreat you can expect delicious, creative, vegetarian meals, plus afternoon tea and cake, all lovingly prepared by our in-house chef.

Ingredients are organic and locally sourced where possible.

You can help yourself to hot and cold drinks at any time.
