SWITZERLAND
I did not want to go home after this visit to Switzerland. The trip was so full of incredible excursions. I know we only explored a fraction of the beautiful landscape that stretched across the Engadin Valley, but it felt like we saw so much — and we did. From glacial lakes to snowy peaks at 10,000 feet to a small Italian village nestled in a stunning valley… every new vista and experience was another mind-blowing angle on a truly stunning part of the world.

SWITZERLAND ALPINE ADVENTURE
One Yoga Global strives to co-create unique experiences to the world’s most spectacular destinations. The Swiss Alps has been a dream for many years, and we are thrilled to now have a specially curated experience to offer you!
Our Swiss adventure takes us off the big tourism beaten path to Pontresina, an enchanting village in the upper Engadin valley of the High Alps. Surrounded by the impressive Bernina-Massif, but sheltered from the wind and elements, Pontresina has a rich history & charm tucked into a valley of pristine nature, glacier trails, mountain lakes and aromatic alpine meadows.
Our partners for these retreats are our longtime friends Andreas and Ulrica, who split their time with their family between Northern Iceland and Pontresina. They both have a deep connection to these lands – uniquely charged power places on the planet with unparalleled elemental energies and deep tranquility.
Less than 4 miles from St.Moritz, and with a population of less than 3000, Pontresina is the perfect backdrop for our yoga adventure and nature retreat. Our week’s itinerary will rival that of our Iceland itinerary with guided excursions to Muottas Muragl (one of the most beautiful vantage points above the lakes) and Diavolezza where we’ll take a cable car to the breathtaking glacier viewpoints. Hiking through the Alpine trials and meadows is a spectacular life changing experience. We’ll take the UNESCO railway to the Italian speaking town of Poschiavo where we’ll enjoy this picturescque village of medieval architecture. We’ll spend another day venturing to the enchanting village of Sils, and take a boat on the magical lake to Isola. In between, we have two “open days” to enjoy the spa overlooking the valley, go mountain biking on world famous Alpine trails (electric bikes are available as well!) , or take a horse drawn carriage through the Val Roseg Valley.
Accommodations have been arranged at the centrally located and modern Allegra Hotel, which is the only hotel in Pontresina with direct (and included) access to the Bellavita Spa complex complete with indoor and outdoor pools, relaxation rooom, sauna, steam and more.
In addition to the guided excursions above, all breakfasts, lunches and 4 special dinners are included. Travel for most will be via Zurich and then by train to Pontresina.
Beauty, Beauty, Beauty everywhere!! All of it hits home in a way that leaves you in complete wonder and awe. Truly a place of unsurmountable views and experiences. Beyond that, the whole atmosphere of the trip is much more “alive” than you would expect. It fills you with such a refreshment of life, a purity of connection and a touch of Heaven on Earth.
