Throughout the hike, we take small breaks to practice relaxation techniques like Autogenic Training or simple mindfulness exercises, helping you find inner peace while absorbing the beauty of the surroundings. The focus is on combining movement and relaxation in nature.
In the afternoon, you’ll have time to explore the hotel or the surrounding area, or simply unwind. At Hotel Alpenland, you’ll be treated to a cozy afternoon snack (Zvieri) with regional delights. Later, we’ll have another relaxation session, deepening your personal goals and desires with Autogenic Training. The evening concludes with a shared dinner and optional activities like a relaxing walk or chill-out time at the hotel.
On Sunday, the last day begins with a final PMR session for early risers to relax and revitalize the body. After a hearty breakfast, we take a last 3-4 hour hike, allowing you to fully absorb the grandeur of the Berner Alps one last time.
