A New Meditation & Yoga Retreat In Switzerland
A new venue for my Meditation & Yoga Retreat in Switzerland
I discovered a new location to hold my Meditation, Mindfulness & Yoga Retreat Weekends in Switzerland, and it’s fantastic! Introducing the Hostellerie Schwarzsee, a great spa hotel in stunning and tranquil surroundings. The perfect location to recharge your batteries, relax, and disconnect from technology for a weekend, with 11 meditation/yoga/mindfulness sessions for you to choose from. Jump to the page with all the retreat info HERE, or keep reading below.
The Retreat Venue
As you can see from the photos, the Hostellerie Schwarzsee is right on the lake. In fact it is almost the only building around the lake, as the rest of it is surrounded by trees, a path and a waterfall. Schwarzsee is a quiet little village, with stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Boasting an indoor pool, saunas, steam room, beautiful en-suite bedrooms with balconies, and a fantastic panoramic restaurant, this peaceful location is perfect for a physical and mental detox. Triple, double/twin and single bedrooms are available, and their extremely comfortable beds will help you get a great night’s sleep!
