Accommodation

The Mountain Retreat Center in Chiemgau The house has 19 rooms. Small, refined, cozy. Each one is a special kind of retreat. Some rooms have their own bathroom and toilet, while in others you share the bathroom and toilet with other program participants, but in any case you have a sink in your room. From every room you have a view of the wonderful natural landscape of the Alps. It's easy to be amazed by the beauty of the surroundings. Again and again. The heart of the retreat center is the large, fully equipped yoga and meditation room (70 square meters) with parquet flooring and access to the terrace (for practicing). In the basement, there is a second, smaller seminar room (30 square meters) with a cozy atmosphere and a view of the countryside.
Whether you are practicing yoga, meditating, continuing your education, or pursuing any other topic, the atmosphere in the house supports you in devoting yourself fully to the program content.
Around the house, you will find cozy benches for relaxing, hiking trails in the surrounding area, wonderful flower meadows in summer, well guarded by the alpine herdsmen, the cows. In winter, it is ideal for a winter walk.

Catering

The food at the Mountain Retreat Center is 100% vegetarian. The most important meal of the day, at least according to the Chinese, is breakfast. That's why we place particular emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast – always including warm porridge. Lunch consists of soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening you will be treated to salad, vegetarian main courses, and dessert. Always freshly cooked, with an Ayurvedic touch. We can accommodate food intolerances and vegan requests to a limited extent.

sequence

A vacation for the self. Take some time out, whether for a long weekend or longer. Free yourself from the urge to constantly react and interact, and recharge your batteries. The Mountain Retreat Center is a special place on a small hill in Sachrang near Aschau, in the Chiemgau Mountains. Ideal for your personal yoga retreat. Formerly a house of silence where a Zen community practiced meditation and contemplation, the healing tranquility is still palpable. Like in the large yoga and meditation room with Asian panels and mountain views, or in the smaller yoga room with a view of the countryside.

In the mornings and evenings, you can do your body and mind some good with a yoga session. During the day, you can enjoy total idleness. The area around the house is ideal for hiking or winter sports. A guided hike is even included. The unspoiled and impressive nature is an experience in itself.

Whether you decide to exercise, take a trip to Aschau, Chiemsee, or Kufsteiner Land, daydream, read an exciting book, or simply do nothing—your vacation will be a lasting break. Immerse yourself in the peace and power of this special place. PROGRAM DETAILS

Two yoga sessions per day, each lasting 1.5 hours. One yoga session on the day of arrival and one on the day of departure. No previous experience necessary. In a workshop (usually on Fridays), you will learn how to make simple breads. On Tuesdays, there is a group hike lasting approximately one hour (on another day in case of bad weather).

The program is open and guaranteed to take place. Guests of all yoga levels can arrive and depart at different times and join the ongoing yoga program. Number of participants between two and 20 people. Also ideal for solo travelers.

Those interested in wellness can visit the Hallodu swimming pool and sauna world in nearby Ebbs (Tyrol). There you will find various saunas, steam baths, and pools on two floors plus an outdoor area.

It was very nice. The house is very secluded, which helps to unwind. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the shower for the sauna is turned off during the winter months. This means that as long as there is no snow, one has to go back up to the room or to the communal area in the house to shower before going back down for the next sauna session. This is very impractical, and as a result, you don't use the sauna properly.

All in all, more than successful. The location is great. The room was also good. Maybe you could put some fly screens on the windows. It wouldn't cost the earth, but would improve the experience many times over. It felt like there were at least 50 mosquitoes in the room. I removed them once with the vacuum cleaner but in the evening everything was full again. And because it's so warm you have to leave the windows open and then you could hardly sleep. Apart from that, the location and view are of course fantastic ... You can relax perfectly and forget everything around you. Special mention must be made of the super yoga teacher Olivia! She really adapted to everyone and managed to pick everyone up, even though there were advanced students and mega beginners like me. Mega achievement. The new cook who started there was also great. Maybe it would be cool if there was a program throughout the day, maybe there was, but nothing was promoted. I will definitely come back again.

It was a wonderful experience for me. It was also the best vacation I've ever had! It was the interaction between the people who work at the MRC and the guests. I felt so comfortable at the MRC as if it were my home. I am not a vegan, but I have rarely eaten so well. Alex is a true artist. I've learned a lot about sustainability. I also want to eat more consciously and healthily again. I was also very impressed by the simplicity of the staff's lives. I felt a lot of happiness and contentment. The yoga classes with Katharina and Tamara were mega. I felt an incredible amount of happiness and gratitude. I discovered feelings inside me that I hardly know. I felt the need to be a member of staff there myself. I can only say that I am grateful to have experienced such a great vacation and that it is a wonderful concept.

The food was amazing, the rooms were nice and clean, the people there were relaxed and nice. The yoga instructor Claudia was incredibly friendly and picked up / reached everyone. Pure joy. One thing about the sauna: no shower facilities on site, and taking a cold shower outside in the winter - oops, that's quite a challenge. I found it a shame that they always open the sauna at times (16-20.30 h) when people are coming out of yoga (18h) and are supposed to eat straight away (18.30h). It's practically not used during this time slot because it's simply not possible - unless you're one of the intrepid ones who dare to go in at 7.30pm on a full stomach. Or if you could eat at 8pm. I know you can get together and use them in the afternoon. But wouldn't it be more effective to rotate the two time slots to make use of the necessary energy? Then you wouldn't always have to ask in the afternoon while it's virtually empty in the evening. Just an idea ... Otherwise everything was great, I would go there again at any time.
