3-Day Swiss Alps Reset: Yoga, Nature & Seasonal Renewal

The 3-day Disconnect-Reconnect retreat at Mad Retreat Hotel is a seasonal reset, designed to mark the shift from one season to the next. Each edition incorporates rituals that reflect the time of year—whether it’s the budding energy of spring, the grounding of autumn, or the stillness of winter. The program is flexible, but a typical day includes morning meditation and pranayama or yoga, a long breakfast, free time for the spa or a massage, a set lunch, afternoon activities like forest bathing, aerial yoga, or a workshop, and evening yoga or free time before dinner.

What sets this retreat apart is its deep connection to nature. The hotel sits in the 4 Vallées, a vast mountain area known for skiing in winter and hiking in summer. The stunning alpine scenery is a constant presence, and the retreat uses this environment to help you slow down and tune in. Forest bathing, in particular, is a chance to walk mindfully through the woods, breathing in the crisp air and noticing the details of the landscape.

Nina, your host, brings a wealth of experience. Originally from Belgium, she’s spent years between Switzerland and Portugal, managing a ski school in winter and running a guesthouse and yoga school in summer. Her teaching draws on traditional Hatha yoga (following the lineage of Swami Sivananda) and a range of other styles, including Ashtanga, Yin, and Aerial yoga. She’s also trained in myofascial release and Ayurvedic coaching, so her classes are both physically engaged and thoughtfully holistic.

The change-of-season workshop is a highlight—a chance to reflect on the past months and set intentions for the next. Pair this with a sound bath and a one-hour massage, and you leave not just relaxed, but genuinely reset. It’s a short break that packs a lot of meaningful content into a small window, perfect for a long weekend.
