On the hikes together, you will explore the Allgäu with its green meadows, colorful flowers, herbs and fresh mountain air. The perfect environment to unwind and relax.
This active week is suitable for beginners as well as practicing yogis/yoginis, the only requirement is sufficient health and fitness to participate in the program with joy and fun.

Arrive and feel good - our personal, cozy 4* Vitalhotel is a place of regeneration and well-being. True to the motto "From nice people, for nice people", authenticity, friendliness and a respectful approach to people and nature are important to us.
Spend eventful days and relaxing nights in our house, in a room that meets your own needs. You can choose between seven different room categories - from the extra spacious two-storey suite (almost like a small vacation apartment) to the comfortable double room and the compact, affordable single room.
As a Vitalhotel, we have modern public areas, such as a comfortable lounge/reception room and a well-kept seminar room. Our beautiful wellness area is equipped with an indoor pool, Finnish and bio saunas, infrared cabins, a fitness and gymnastics room and an in-house physiotherapy practice.
An experienced alternative practitioner and mental coach is also available by appointment (treatment areas include detoxification, intestinal cleansing, Bach flower remedies, natural hormone therapy, anti-ageing treatments).
Our specialist beautician and medical chiropodist only use high-quality, cruelty-free natural cosmetic products.
Leave everyday life behind you, find your center again and take home new strategies for better coping with everyday life.

Both breakfast and dinner are served in our hotel restaurant. While breakfast is served as a buffet, you have a choice of several options for dinner during the yoga retreat. A soup of the day is generally served first as a starter. We can accommodate special dietary requirements (e.g. vegetarian) or allergies (gluten, dairy products) if you let us know in good time when booking.
