THE EXPERIENCE

PWR.8 SWISS RETREAT

We stay at a Danish-operated, beautifully designed boutique hotel in the small village of Vals, nestled in the Swiss Alps near the Italian border. Vals is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, seclusion, and as the home of one of Europe's most iconic thermal spas, Therme Vals.

The retreat begins the moment you land at Zürich Airport and embark on a journey with the small group, traveling by three different trains and a bus before arriving in Vals. This scenic journey allows you to naturally unwind and prepare to disconnect from the rest of the world.

Each day, we hike the stunning mountain trails, complemented by yoga, stretching, and mindfulness sessions held outdoors or indoors, depending on the weather.
