Day 1

The weekend begins with a short transfer from Geneva to the Hotel Moineaux in the village of Bellevaux. You will have time to relax with a restorative yoga / pilates session, settle into your room and enjoy fantastic local cuisine in the hotel’s restaurant.

Day 2

The day begins with an energising breakfast before heading out on our first Snowshoe adventure.

Taking you off piste and away from the busy ski slopes, your qualified guide leads you on a magical hike from Lac Vallon . An utterly unique experience, snowshoeing is perfect for everyone, whatever your skill level or snow sports experience. Returning to the hotel you can enjoy the facilities including mini gym, sauna or an optional massage. There will be a relaxing Yoga / Pilates class before enjoying a traditional dinner.

Day 3

Sunday begins with an invigorating early morning Yoga / Pilates class before enjoying a leasurely brunch with the group. We then depart on the second of your snowshoe treks, discovering snowcapped grottos and hidden glades amid the tall spruce of the forest to explore the head of Vallee Brevon. We enjoy a slightly later lunch in a mountain restaurant and you can also participate in an optional Dog Sledding session in the afternoon before departing for Geneva or your onward destination.

instantly welcoming and friendly!

There is a lot going on in my life at the moment and I’d been looking for a weekend retreat since the beginning of the year to have a little time to myself, get out in the fresh air, and calm down a bit. I found the Live Breathe Hike Snowshoeing and Yoga retreat by chance and I’m really glad I did. The booking process was really straightforward and Tanya answered emails and provided information promptly, whenever asked. I was a little nervous about attending a retreat like this on my own but I needn’t have been. Tanya and her colleagues were instantly welcoming and friendly. The yoga sessions are accessible for all levels and the snowshoeing routes are just as beautiful as described. I was also pleasantly surprised by the accommodation and meals included in the price as it was great value for money. I hope I have the opportunity to join another of Tanya’s retreats in future.

fabulous!

The trip was fabulous, thanks to Tanya’s organization, experience in the elements, and the gift of peace she gives with her yoga instruction. I hope the future offers a time I can connect with Tanya again. Wendy
