Description:

Take a day just for yourself. Slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the beauty of the Engadin.

We begin with a gentle yoga practice by the peaceful Lej da Staz, followed by a nourishing brunch. From there, we'll hike through the stunning alpine landscape to a crystal-clear mountain lake, where you'll experience the refreshing power of cold-water immersion before enjoying a picnic surrounded by nature.

This is a day to move, breathe, embrace the elements and reconnect with yourself, nature and like-minded people. You'll return home feeling grounded, refreshed and inspired.

What Awaits You:

Morning Yoga at Lej da Staz

We begin the day with a gentle yoga flow by the peaceful lake Lej da Staz. Through mindful movement and breath, you'll ease into the day feeling grounded and present.

Nourishing Brunch

After practice, we'll enjoy a wholesome brunch together. Made with fresh, nourishing ingredients and shared in good company.

Alpine Hike & Cold-Water Immersion

We'll hike through the beautiful Engadin landscape to a crystal-clear mountain lake, where you'll be guided through a refreshing cold-water immersion with simple breathwork and gentle guidance.

Lakeside Picnic

To round off the day, we'll gather for a relaxed picnic by the lake. Designed by two qualified nutritionists, the food is nourishing and intended to support you throughout the day. It's an opportunity to slow down, connect with others, and take in the beauty of the mountains before heading home.

Surprise
We've prepared a small gift for every participant—just a little something to make the experience even more special.

Important information:

The mountains always have the final say. We love being outdoors and will adapt the day to the conditions. If it rains, we'll move our yoga practice and brunch to Hotel Laudinella. Should the weather make the hike unsafe, we'll prepare a beautiful alternative experience and let everyone know 24 hours before the retreat.

Why This Journey?

  • Slow down and enjoy a day away from everyday life
  • Move your body, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Engadin
  • Experience the refreshing feeling of cold-water immersion in a crystal-clear alpine lake

What to Bring

Please bring comfortable hiking shoes, weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, swimwear, a towel, your yoga mat, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and warm layers for after the cold immersion. We also recommend bringing a small backpack for the hike and anything you need to feel comfortable throughout the day.

It is a holistic journey, a gateway to self-awareness and inner growth. It is not only a physical experience; the practice goes beyond the mat and invites practitioners to cultivate a more conscious way of living.

My name is Fortesa and I have been passionate about cooking ever since I was four years old. Rather than rigidly following recipes or set menus, I embrace a creative and intuitive approach in the kitchen. I enjoy experimenting, so each dish has a touch of spontaneity, but I also value simplicity and like to highlight the natural quality of the ingredients.

I adapt my cooking according to the season, the weather and my guests' preferences, ensuring a personalised and memorable experience. Above all, I cook with great passion and care, and spices are an essential part of my cuisine.

I look forward to welcoming you to Albania, where you may even have the opportunity to join me in the kitchen!

Nives

Eventmanager and Founder of Ice and Yoga Retreats

I have always loved the feeling after a good yoga session and the invigorating sensation of a dip in icy water. These experiences bring me immense joy and satisfaction.

My journey began with a degree in Hotel Management in Lucerne, Switzerland. For many years, I worked as an event manager, organizing a wide range of events and attending many retreats myself.

This year, I also started as a "safe-space" holder at Keen Wellbeing, where I help participants get into the ice bath. Combining my personal passions with my professional expertise, I am dedicated to creating unforgettable retreats.

Using my background in hospitality and event management, I design experiences that leave participants feeling recharged and inspired.

It gives me great joy to see people happy and fulfilled, whether it's after an invigorating ice bath or a delicious meal.
I can't wait to meet you! Love, Nives

Corinne

Head Chef

I'm Corinne, a passionate chef with a heart and a love for wild herbs.

My cooking is inspired by nature, characterised by curiosity and driven by a deep love of detail. I love cooking over an open fire and experimenting with different ingredients.

In autumn 2025, I will be immersing myself further in the world of wild flavours with an internship at Stefan Wiesner's restaurant in Entlebuch.
To me, cooking is about more than just food. It's a form of expression and an experience. It's also an invitation to pause for a moment.
