Essentials of the Alpine Reset - St.Moritz

Welcome, dear guest!

We would like to invite you to The Alpine Reset, a carefully curated weekend escape in the heart of the Engadin. Surrounded by majestic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and fresh alpine air, this weekend invites you to slow down, reconnect and find a moment of stillness away from everyday life.

Stay at the welcoming Hotel Laudinella in St. Moritz and enjoy a thoughtfully designed program combining yoga, nature, hikes, cold plunges and time to unwind.

The Alpine Reset is created for those who value meaningful experiences, beautiful surroundings and a balance between activity and relaxation. Together, we will practice yoga in inspiring locations, explore the Engadin landscape on foot and enjoy moments of connection in nature.

One of the highlights of the weekend is our yoga session at the beautiful Lake Staz, followed by a relaxed lakeside brunch. We will also explore one of the region's alpine lakes on a guided hike. Once we reach this tranquil mountain oasis, you will have the chance to take part in a guided cold plunge session and afterwards enjoy a nourishing picnic created by Semina, two nutritionists from Zurich.

After active days outdoors, you can relax and recharge with complimentary access to the OVAVERVA indoor pool and spa, including various saunas, a steam bath and stunning views of the Engadin mountains.

The Alpine Reset is an invitation to pause, breathe and reconnect — through yoga, nature, a mindful cold plunge, nourishing moments and meaningful connections.

Gentle days, alpine adventures, refreshing cold plunges, delicious food, deep relaxation and unforgettable moments await you.

Yoga

Find balance between effort and ease.
Start your day with Morning Meditation and Vinyasa Flow, synchronising your breath with the sunrise. Feel the energy of the surrounding nature as you stretch and strengthen your body.

Unwind in the evening with a 45–60 minute yoga flow. Relieve stress and tension as an experienced yoga teacher guides you through the session.

Cold Plunge

Although the cold plunge may feel intense at first, it can leave you feeling deeply refreshed and mentally clear, while also recharging your body. It improves circulation, reduces muscle tension after hiking and can positively affect overall recovery, energy levels and sleep quality.

Together, we will step into the cold in a safe and supportive way. You will be guided through breathwork and preparation techniques to help you stay calm and present during the experience. Sharing this experience with others creates a strong sense of connection, encouragement and trust, making the cold plunge not only manageable, but also empowering and great fun!

The workshop includes an introduction, guided breathwork, and the cold plunge in the lake. The water is clear, refreshing, and deeply awakening. Typically around 10–14°C in September, depending on natural conditions.

Nourishing Cuisine

Every morning begins with the generous breakfast buffet at Hotel Laudinella, offering a wide selection of fresh, regional and international breakfast favourites.

On Saturday, after our yoga session at the beautiful Lej da Staz, we'll gather for a relaxed lakeside brunch. Later that day, we'll hike to a hidden alpine lake where Semina will prepare a special picnic for us to enjoy surrounded by nature.

For the remaining meals, you're free to explore the hotel's diverse culinary scene. Choose from several restaurants serving Italian, Asian, Swiss and other international cuisines, allowing you to enjoy a different dining experience each evening. Guests can also add the popular Dine Around Half-Board option for CHF 59 per person per night, which includes dinner in your choice of the participating restaurants.

Yoga, sauna and cold exposure can be mentally as well as physically challenging, so it's important to be in good physical and mental shape before you start the retreat. If you have any health conditions or injuries, it's important to let the retreat organisers know in advance so that they can make suggestions or alternatives for you if you need them.

If you have any concerns about your heart health, it's important to speak to your doctor before taking part. Ultimately, the most important thing is to listen to your body during the retreat. If something feels too challenging or uncomfortable, it's okay to take a step back or ask for modifications.The goal is to have a positive and relaxing experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and energised.

Barbara

Retreat Chef

I am Barbara, a private chef and the founder of Chuchi Potpourri.

I believe that great food brings people together, which is why I love creating fresh, seasonal dishes that nourish both body and soul. For the Azure Horizon Retreat, I'm excited to prepare colourful, wholesome meals inspired by local ingredients, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy every moment around the table.

Madlen

TCM-therapist and holist healthcoach

Growing up surrounded by nature, I developed a deep appreciation for movement, health, and mindful living. My passion has always been to help people reconnect with their bodies and discover the balance that allows them to feel their best.

My journey began with twelve years of karate, where I learned discipline, respect, and the importance of the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Today, I continue practising Kung Fu, whose philosophy has become a way of life for me. I believe that true strength is quiet, grounded, and built through consistency, humility, and compassion. Living in harmony with nature, embracing simplicity, and finding balance in everyday life are values that continue to guide me both personally and professionally.

My path led me from working as a chef to becoming a holistic health and nutrition consultant, and today I practise as an acupressure therapist while continuing my studies in acupuncture and Tui Na. Along my own journey, I have experienced both physical injuries and personal challenges, which deepened my understanding of healing and recovery.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has had the greatest impact on my life. Its holistic approach—seeing every person as unique and treating the root cause rather than only the symptoms—is the foundation of how I support others today.

At the retreat, my intention is to create a calm and welcoming space where you can slow down, restore your energy, and reconnect with yourself. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, experience, and passion for holistic health with you.
