  • Each day's activities have been carefully crafted to give you a rich Alpine experience, with yoga sessions woven into the holiday to complement the serenity and balance that being in the mountain evokes.
  • 1st Evening
    An early evening yoga session, for those who arrive in time, will be followed by a welcome glass of champagne and barbecued dinner on the terrace with panoramic views of the mountains.

  • 1st Day
    The day begins with a substantial breakfast, followed by a mountain hike and a lavish picnic lunch with wonderful views of Mont Blanc. A late afternoon yoga session and maybe a soak in the Jacuzzi will round off the sense of well-being before a barbecue dinner is served on the terrace.

  • 2nd Day
    Following a leisurely breakfast, we will drive to the shores of Lake Geneva for a visit to Chateau de Ripaille and its vineyards. Steeped in history, the chateau's grandeur and charm make it one of the most fascinating heritage sites in the region. We will wander around the house and its grounds and enjoy some of the wines at a tasting. Lunch will follow at a local restaurant near the lake, and then a quick afternoon dip in a cold mountain lake before returning to Ferme de Montagne for afternoon tea and dinner on the terrace.

  • 3rd Day
    A morning yoga session will wake up your body for which you will be rewarded by a hearty brunch. In the afternoon you will be free to wander lounge around Ferme de Montagne, have a spa treatment or go on a beautiful guided forest walk. Tea and indulgent cakes will be served in the afternoon followed by a gentle, restorative yoga session on the terrace to fully relax and connect with the surrounding natural beauty. And, of course, then dinner.

  • Last Day
    In the morning, you will have the opportunity to learn how to capture some of the flavour of our surroundings by joining Suzanne Dixon-Hudson for a cookery class on the terrace. Suzanne is author of the hugely successful The Boozy Chef in Australia. The session will be fun and will focus on simple technique that get impressive results, including a foolproof bread recipe, using locally picked mountain herbs; how to preserve lemons; and making oil infusions for delicious salad dressings. Lunch will be our morning's efforts and a further mid-afternoon yoga session followed by yet more cake will set you up for your journey home.
