JOIN US IN THE FRENCH ALPS!

Join Amanda's team in one of the prettiest alpine villages in the French Alps for an inspiring, active detox which will leave you fresh and cleansed...

Set no more than one hour's luxury transfer from Geneva airport in the picturesque Alpine market town of Samoens, you will have the option to stay in one of the Alps' most atmospheric chalets: Chalet La Source, an award-winning, stunning chalet owned and managed by close friends.

With Amanda's special detox and healthy menu options, outdoor wood-fired hot tubs looking over the Alps, intimate yoga practice rooms, inclusive therapies and walks and the chance to sample outdoor activities it will be a memorable week.

Our balanced approach

Each day of a retreat follows a pattern of support and fun for the body: group and one on one pilates, yoga & chi gong; invigorating outdoor exercise for all levels, delicious juice and healthy meal options, supportive supplements, relaxing therapies and a sit down evening detox dinner. We also take colon cleansing as part of the programme.

For the mind each day offers a chance to de-stress and develop your knowledge and awareness.

For the spirit we bring our meditation and relaxation sessions each evening and sessions on goal setting, visualization and living in harmony with all aspects of the self.

As your retreat progresses you will begin to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of the experience and, as a recent client said "begin to look and feel 10 years younger".

 

WHAT A PROGRAMME!

This being the Alps for a week, it is our longest and most varied programme. Take a look at our programme!

Saturday...

...You'll fly in to Geneva Airport on Saturday afternoon, met by our drivers, and whisked off to the chalet to be met by our team with an evening's healthy supper around the log fire, before early to bed.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday ...

...involve a scheduled daily programme of detox juices and broths, colon cleansing, yoga sessions (from beginner to expert), and optional therapies with our skilled staff. Our local team of therapists are on-hand to deliver fantastic supportive therapies.

Friday...

Friday is all about gently bringing you back in to the real world (including enjoying super healthy food!) crystalising your goals and having some inspiring fun with us to really step out and enjoy the Alps with optional activities for you to select from, including:

  • Alpine walks in the Fer a Cheval National Park and Gorge
  • Horse riding and trekking for beginner and experienced alike
  • Climbing a "Via Ferrata" and in doing so experiencing all the highs of serious mountain climbs but with none of the risk!
  • Join us mountain biking (cross-country or downhill) in Samoens or nearby Les Gets/Morzine - including bike hire and tuition or guiding!

Looking forward to meeting you in Samoens!
