Sep 3rd - Sep 10th AUSTRIAN ALPS
Sep 3rd - Sep 10th
Find your awesome in the Austrian Alps
Feel good, yoga good and do good
at this mountain retreat social enterprise resort that combines
Alpine adventure with soulful wonder.
Where is the event?
Our mountain-top haven is located a scenic 40 minute drive from beautiful Salzburg, Austria – a magnificent city with meandering cobbled lanes, rich history and relaxed friendly atmosphere. We at Yoga Traveller just love this magical sanctuary – and we think you will too.
Is this right for me?
Definitely. Whether you’re a seasoned skier looking to be challenged on the slopes, a beginner eager to learn the ropes or simply looking for some tobogganing family fun – we’ve created the perfect Austrian experience for you. Perfect for getting out there and feeling alive in the fresh mountain air. And perfect for the you who’s looking to be revived, refreshed and restored through yoga, against the stunning backdrop of the Austrian Alps. It just doesn’t get better than this.
WHY HERE?
Because here you holiday at the heart of some of the most incredible natural beauty the world has to offer – from the mighty mountains as old as time and the rich flora and fauna, to the quaint Austrian village way of life that moves to the rhythm of nature. It’s about reconnecting, recharging and reenergising your love for life.
Because there’s simply a whole winter wonderland of amazingness here – from skiing to snowboarding, tobogganing and snowshoe (hiking in special tennis racquet-style snow shoes). Here everyone will find their happy place – whether it’s out on the breath-taking slopes or finding a cosy dining spot in the picturesque village below. Come summer, the landscape transforms to reveal a myriad of beautiful mountain trails – as the ski lifts take you up high amongst the forests, wild flowers, rolling pastures and crystal lakes, to picnic, rest and just be.
Because it’s hard to beat the culture, history and artistic splendour of Austria – found in every mountain top castle and ancient village and complemented by the creative vibrancy of the city of Salzburg, home of Mozart.
Because it’s our hidden gem. Hochkonig is a little-known but highly-regarded ski region. There are plenty of ski rental, ski depots and ski school businesses, and with a bus taking you from door to door, the ski experience is made easy.
And because here is your chance to give back in the most wonderful of ways. The chalet home where you’ll stay is a Social Enterprise Business, which means that all profits made go to charity, such as The Coins Foundation, which uses profits to benefit housing projects in Africa.
The Foundation also represents The Cookie Bar, a social enterprise café in Hindhead, Surrey, that offers valuable work experience to students, including those with disabilities. This means you’re doing yourself good – and you’re paying it forward for so many others too.
What can I look forward to?
Soul-touching scenery. Mouthwateringly delicious home-cooked meals, challenging physical adventures, time to explore and feel centred. Expert, thoughtfully-planned yoga classes. Hikes to trek. Shops to explore. Fascinating people to meet. Places to discover. Fresh mountain air. Fun après ski. Calm. Peace. Excitement and exhilaration. And that’s just the beginning.
Tell me about the
accommodation?
We think you’ll fall in love with this Alpine hideaway that’s as welcoming as it is beautiful. Offering home-from-home comfort, the rooms are stylishly-decorated with wonderfully-comfortable beds, the softest carpets and calm, clean décor. The perfect setting for your soulful retreat.
There’s also a stunning, natural-mountain-spring-fed and plant-cleaned pool for you to bathe in and a sun deck for lounging. Then there’s the beautiful wellness area with under floor heating, sauna, infra red sauna, steam room and chill out area. And throughout it all, our chef in residence, Ben, will treat you with deliciously creative fine food. Fresh, flavourful, healthy meals prepared with love and passion.

What will my day look like?
Kick-start the great day with a morning yoga class. Through heat-building poses you will warm up the joints, open the spine, prepare the muscles and centre the mind. These sessions will help you prepare for the physical challenges ahead – waking you up and priming you for mountain fun. Follow this with a hearty healthy breakfast then it’s time to hit the mountains – be it skiing, sledging, hiking, walking, visiting villages or just hanging out in the wellness area. You’ll end the day with an evening yoga session – designed to help you unwind, relax and replenish your energised body. Through long, slow and deep poses you will release the muscles and the mind, before sitting down for our delicious evening meal.
You’ll have lots of free time in between planned sessions – so you can take advantage of the lively après ski scene down in the village, indulge at the wellness centre – or simply enjoy a cosy, early night with a great book.
