You'll spend a week practising yoga and Pilates in the Western Austrian Alps, near Innsbruck in Tyrol, based at the five-star Alpenresort Schwarz. It's a retreat that suits all levels, from complete novices to advanced practitioners, with modifications offered throughout. Whether you're coming on your own or with company, the shared daily schedule of classes, group hikes and communal meals makes it an easy place to settle in, and solo travellers are very much at home here.

The practice sits at the heart of the week. Each day opens with a morning yoga or Pilates class and closes with an evening session, both of which are yours to take as fully or as gently as you like. Nothing is forced: the teaching is designed to meet you wherever you are, so you can push on if you want to or ease back if you'd rather. Alongside the daily classes, two guided mountain hikes run across the week, giving you a chance to get out into the Alps and see the landscape that surrounds the resort.

The setting is a considerable part of the appeal. The Alpenresort Schwarz is a five-star resort in the mountains near Innsbruck, and it becomes your home for seven nights. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, each with an ensuite bathroom, TV, WiFi, extra-comfortable mattresses and fine bedding, for one or two guests. You can choose from the Freiraum Delux Double Room, the Landgarten Luxury Double Room or the Feldern Room. Beyond your room, you'll have full access to the resort's spa, with its heated pools, saunas and meditation loungers available throughout the week for you to relax between sessions.

A typical day has a gentle, unhurried rhythm. You begin with your morning class, followed by a full breakfast of fresh regional produce. The middle of the day is entirely yours: you might spend it in the spa, rest in your room, or join one of the guided hikes when they run. An evening class follows later on, and then dinner at the resort, prepared by the award-winning kitchen with vegetarian, vegan and meat options. Dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice, so do let us know ahead of time.

A good deal is included in the week. You'll have seven nights' accommodation at the Alpenresort Schwarz, daily morning and evening yoga and Pilates classes, full breakfast and dinner daily as gourmet half-board, full access to the spa, two guided hiking excursions, and airport transfers to and from Innsbruck. Flying into Innsbruck is the simplest way to arrive, and your transfers are coordinated once you share your flight details with us.

A few things sit outside the package. Flights are not included, nor are optional spa treatments and massages, and early-arrival or late-departure transfers can be arranged at extra cost if your travel plans require them. Pack comfortable clothing you can move in, suitable footwear and layers for the hikes, and swimwear for the spa, and you'll be well set for a restful, active week in the mountains.
