Home › Retreats › 5-Day Wellness Escape: Qigong, Meditation & Hiking in the Tyrolean Alps
Austria · 5 days · From USD 690
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and come home to yourself. Set in the exclusive privacy of your host Matti's grandfather's alpine hut, the experience weaves together the gentle, flowing movements of Qigong, the stillness of meditation, the transformative power of sound healing, and the grounding energy of mindful hiking through moss-green slopes and past crystal-clear mountain lakes. It's not about self-optimization; it's a soulful homecoming to your authentic self.
The daily rhythm is designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Mornings begin with Qigong and meditation against a breathtaking mountain panorama, followed by a hearty breakfast. Days are filled with nature hikes, personal reflection time, and afternoon sessions that are shaped by the energy of the group. Evenings wind down with community dinners and deep rest, often accompanied by transformative sound journeys. The schedule is flexible and invitations are always optional—you're encouraged to find your own pace. Whether you join every session or simply sit in silence and soak in the views, this retreat offers a sanctuary for deep rest and renewal.
The retreat is led by Matti, an M.Sc. in Positive Psychology, with over 15 years of experience in Qigong and meditation. His journey through a broken back, social anxiety, and profound grief to a place of deep peace and loving presence is a testament to the power of the practices he shares. Alongside him, Tanja holds space with her soul-stirring sound healing sessions, creating a harmonious container for healing. Together, they create a safe, welcoming environment where every emotion is welcomed and where you are guided by lived experience, not just theory.
The location itself is a key part of the experience. Perched at 1,800 meters in the Zillertal Alps, the hut offers total seclusion and a profound connection to nature. It's a far cry from an anonymous hotel—this is a family sanctuary with real soul. With only a handful of guests, you'll avoid the crowds and be surrounded by majestic peaks, alpine meadows, and the simple comforts of a traditional mountain refuge. It's the perfect setting to unplug, release, and remember what truly matters.
