Are you longing for some time out but don't really have the time? Are you looking for a challenge and are drawn to the mountains? Are you looking not only for a network, but also for deep friendships that will take you further? Welcome to the Leadership Hike!

The Leadership Hike is aimed at people who take responsibility for themselves & their fellow human beings. Whether you're a start-up CEO, philosophy professor, corporate manager, local activist or concert pianist - if you're passionate about your topic, you've come to the right place. Our participants appreciate the mix of adventure, community & deep reflection. They are looking for inspiration, want to overcome their own limits & enjoy life to the full.

With the Leadership Hike, you will experience a unique retreat that is specially designed for leaders & people who want to become leaders. In a group of 8 like-minded people, you will hike for 4 days through the impressive alpine landscape of Berchtesgaden & cover a total distance of 33 kilometers and 2,000 meters in altitude. This trip offers you the opportunity to come to rest in the midst of nature, to reflect deeply & to rediscover yourself. #Come down #Come together #Get ahead

Use this retreat to network with like-minded people, gain new perspectives & deal with yourself in a sustainable way. The true added value of the Leadership Hike lies not only in the hike itself, but also in the deep friendships & network you build along the way. These connections will also support you after the retreat in making important decisions in your life & career.

Your guide & coach:
You will be guided by Teddy Lange through the entire retreat, your mind journey & the hike. Teddy is an entrepreneur, mindfulness coach & holds a Masters in Communication, Leadership & Decision Sciences from Harvard University.

Teddy brings people together, creates clarity & asks the right questions - for insights that last.

We stay in authentic mountain huts run by the German Alpine Club. Together with the other participants, you will share shared rooms. When you look out of the window, you will see the magnificent expanse of the Alps during the day & nothing but darkness & the twinkling stars above you at night. Each participant receives a shower token per night, which allows for a 3-minute hot shower. As you can see, it will be authentic, rustic & minimalist! A real mountain adventure!

Every day you will receive a balanced breakfast, a packed lunch for the hike & a hearty, warm evening meal. We also start & end with a warm lunch together.

All huts offer vegetarian options. As the huts have a limited infrastructure, further special requests can unfortunately not be considered.

Drinks, additional snacks & desserts are to be paid for by the participants.

The Leadership Hike is deliberately designed with the following elements: Hike, meditation, group work, silent reflection & free time.

- Day 1: Arrival
We meet in Schönau am Königssee, enjoy lunch together & start with a boat trip across the Königssee. We then climb up through the notorious Saugasse to the Kärlingerhaus, where we end the evening with a group reflection. The ascent will be really strenuous, but your body & mind will thank you for simply arriving in the moment & leaving everyday life behind you.

- Day 2: Letting go
After a morning meditation & a fortifying breakfast, we begin our ascent to Ingolstädter Haus. The day is all about reflection: use the moment on a silent hike through the eternal expanses of the Steinernes Meer to ask yourself the question: What do I want from life, now & in the near future? Exhausted & full of thoughts, we will go into a deep exchange in the evening around a campfire at Ingolstadt House.

- Day 3: Focus
We start the day with a deep meditation & breakfast, followed by a silent descent into the Wimbachtal. Today the focus is on gaining clarity about your life goals. Today you sort out everything you brought up yesterday. Arriving at the Wimbachgrieshütte, the participants support each other in creating clarity & sharpening their focus.

- Day 4: Intention
On the final day, we set clear intentions for action. After a final meditation for intention visualization, a shared lunch & hike, we return strengthened, with new insights & with a valuable network of like-minded & diverse friends. The focus during the day is for you & the other participants to establish systems to realize their goals.

We meet at 12:00 in Schönau am Königsee, eat together & start the hike at 13:30. PLAN ENOUGH TIME FOR YOUR ARRIVAL: The hike starts at 13:30!
