Winter in the mountains always feels special. The crisp, cold air, snow-covered landscapes, crunching snow underfoot, and long days spent outdoors in nature. And afterwards, the feeling of coming back into the warmth.
For our founder Sophie, this combination of activity in the snow and deep relaxation indoors is simply unbeatable. Perhaps that's also because she originally comes from the Allgäu region. Snow, skiing, and long winter days outdoors were a natural part of her childhood. This love of winter has stayed with her, and that's exactly how this guide came about:
We want to share places that perfectly capture that special winter atmosphere. A carefully selected collection of our partner hotels, all equipped with our yoga equipment and ideal for a short winter getaway.
During the day, some of the most beautiful alpine ski resorts, quiet winter hiking trails, or cross-country ski tracks await you right outside your door. Perhaps you'll even grab a sled and enjoy the snow like in the old days. And then the cozy part of the day begins.
Back at the hotel, you can warm up, relax in the sauna, curl up with a book under a blanket, or unroll your yoga mat and end the day with a gentle flow. It's precisely this blend of activity and relaxation that makes winter days in the mountains so special for us.
