DAY 1: 

Arrive – Slow Down – Immerse Yourself
🕊 Afternoon/Evening
Welcome to Valle Maira!
After your arrival at the beautiful Visaia grounds, we leave the everyday hustle behind. There's time to settle in, unwind, and get to know each other. Later, we’ll meet for a gentle yoga session to ground the body and mind and find the rhythm of the retreat.
🫶🏼 Evening
At our communal dinner, we’ll toast to the days ahead and share what brought us here. A cozy gathering, open and warm – just like the whole retreat.

​

DAY 2: 

Climbing in Nature – Strength & Trust
🌄 Morning
After a nourishing breakfast, we pack our gear: it’s time to head to the rocks! Today is all about climbing – for all skill levels.
🧗‍♀️ During the Day
For beginners: a gentle introduction to the rock and climbing techniques. We’ll practice rope handling, safety, top-rope climbing, and the first climbing movements – all with plenty of calm, guidance, and fun.
For advanced climbers: a deeper dive into rope and belay techniques, advanced climbing, including lead climbing – depending on your level and interests.
In between, we’ll enjoy a delicious snack right at the rock, with a view of the surrounding peaks.
🧘 Evening
After climbing, we’ll realign body and mind with a restorative yoga session. Gentle stretches and mindful breathing will aid in recovery.
Then, a communal dinner awaits us – regional, lovingly prepared, with vegetarian options and all made from local ingredients.
If you'd like, you can end the day with a campfire and some marshmallows, or relax while enjoying the starry sky or a torch-lit hike.

 

DAY 3:

Freedom – Climbing or Exploration
🥐 Morning
A new day begins with a cozy breakfast on the terrace or in the garden.
🌿 During the Day
Option 1: Second climbing day – Want more? We’ll pick up right where you left off yesterday. More practice, safety, new routes, and above all: joy in climbing.
Option 2: A day of leisure – Relax in the hammock under old fruit trees, hike on quiet paths, or visit one of the nearby villages to experience the traditions of the valley. Valle Maira and our accommodation offer everything you need.
🎉 Evening Highlight
For dinner, we all gather again – and afterward, a special local event awaits us:
In July: A traditional Occitan festival with live music, dancing, and local culture.
In August: An open-air DJ set – magical, rhythmic, and full of joy.

 

DAY 4:

Farewell with Heart – Strength in Quietude
🧘 Morning
A final shared breakfast, followed by a gentle closing yoga session to harmonize body and mind for the return journey or the next part of your travels.
👋 Farewell
With many impressions, new trust, and perhaps new friendships, we say goodbye – or rather: see you soon!
