Details of this retreat
Welcome to an unforgettable journey where nature’s splendor meets inner tranquility. Join Aosta Valley Holistic for a transformative summer solstice hike and yoga retreat in the heart of the breathtaking Italian Alps, where the longest day of the year is celebrated amidst soaring peaks, lush meadows, and crystal-clear mountain lakes. This unique retreat invites you to reconnect with the Earth through invigorating hikes, restorative yoga, and mindful meditation, all while basking in the warm glow of the summer solstice.
As the sun reaches its zenith, you will embark on daily hikes through serene alpine landscapes, allowing the beauty of the mountains to ground and inspire us. Each step will be a meditation, each breath a reminder of the deep connection we share with the natural world. Afterward, your expert yoga instructor, Virna, will guide you through practices designed to enhance flexibility, release tension, and awaken your body’s vitality.
You will be visiting the ancient town of Aosta where we meet our local artisan friend, Ilaria, in her pottery workshop to use your creativity to make a little memorandum to take home with you. Then we head into town to enjoy a real Italian aperitivo and a delicious pizza.
Get ready to hike, stretch, breathe, and find your center as we celebrate the magic of the summer solstice in the majestic Italian Alps. Read More
