Mountain hiking top

Hiking offers you a way to enjoy nature in its fullest, whilst getting a great workout in the process. From the Naturalp retreat you can immediately follow a number of mountain walking trails. For beginner to extreme. We are glad to help you choose a walking route. There is the possibility to do multiple day hikes, and stay overnight in a mountain cabin. During the retreats, we will do guided hikes.

Via Ferrata top

Like some more excitement? Then a via ferrata (italian for iron road) might be the thing for you. There are dozens of via ferratas in the alps. This one (left picture) is at Lac de Moiry, where you can climb a rock face using pins and stairs. All this at 2350m altitude and thoroughly secured. There are more easy and complicated via ferratas in the surroundings to choose from. Easier ones, like the Aletsch via ferrata is also accessible for children. You don't need to be a climber for this activity, just willing to conquer fear of heights.

Thermal Baths top

If you are done with the more 'active' activities you might want to visit one of the many thermal baths in the surroundings of the Naturalp raw vegan retreat. Hot healing thermal water, full of minerals, flows out of the mountains here. The romans organized the first thermal baths when they visited Helvetia quit a while ago. We can recommend either Leukerbad, where you can go for a special roman bath or Lavey-les-bains, equipped with saunas and steam baths.
