BIEN-ÊTRE HIKING & WELLNESS
Retrain your mind and body towards a healthy way of life in the Swiss Alps. Spend a week getting back to nature, with daily hikes and private yoga, visits to local famers markets and healthy cooking demonstrations. Our network of nutritionists, mountain guides, yoga instructors, masseuses, and trained chefs will help you commit to a health-conscious lifestyle. From Epic Europe’s home base of Verbier, Switzerland, explore this unique corner of the Alps, walking seemingly endless trails below the Mt. Blanc massif. Our in-house chef will give demonstrations on “farm-to-table” cooking using the amazing variety of local produce and foraged goods that we source throughout the week.
Local accompagnateurs (hiking guides who specialize in the flora, fauna and geology and history of specific regions) will guide you on daily hikes amongst fields of wildflowers, mountain lakes, and glaciated peaks. A walking tour through the Val de Bagnes and a visit with a farming family that produces 95% of what they consume will impress upon you the importance of eating locally and sustainably. And an overnight in Courmayeur will offer us the opportunity to relax in the historic Termes de Pre-St. Didier (baths and spa built by the Savoyard royalty), and hike on the sunbathed slopes on the south side of Mont Blanc.
To balance the activities during the days, we have arranged for in-house massages and private yoga instruction at the chalet. Whatever your focus: fitness, weight loss, yoga, meditation, mental well-being, or all of the above, we recognizing that each individual has a unique path to rejuvenation that encompasses both mind and body. Let Epic Europe create a week specifically for you to cleanse your body, mind, and soul.

"Epic Europe has coordinated several corporate events for us over the past 5 years, and I cannot imagine a more professional operation to handle all of the details. From a team-building event for 50 people in a 17th-century castle atop a mountain pass, to marketing conferences and catalog shoots, their knowledge of the best locations in the Alps is second-to-none, and they are as good as it gets at being creative." - E.P., Lugano CH
