Autumn Yoga and Hiking Escape in the Swiss National Park

The retreat runs for three days in early October 2026, from 2 to 4 October, based in the Swiss National Park area. Days are split between outdoor yoga sessions and a hike through the park, with meditation built into the schedule as well. The point of the October timing is the autumn colour — this is described as the retreat's draw rather than a summer trip with better weather.

Yoga takes place outdoors with views over the national park mountains. All levels are welcome, so beginners and people who have practiced for years end up in the same group. Meditation sessions are held in the same outdoor setting.

The hike covers 7km and takes two to three hours at a walking pace. This is a national park route, so you're on marked trails, and the distance is achievable for most people who are comfortable on their feet for a morning or afternoon.

What makes this different from a hotel-based yoga weekend is that Nastassja runs it herself, is based in Zürich, teaches outdoor yoga there regularly, and writes about hiking in Switzerland on her blog. This is a small operation rather than a big retreat company, and the Swiss National Park location is the specific reason the trip exists.

Practical detail beyond the itinerary is thin on the page. Accommodation, meals and pricing for the October retreat aren't listed, so anyone interested should ask Nastassja directly when booking. What is stated clearly is the date, the yoga level (all welcome) and the hike length.
