Yoga and snowshoeing week-end in the Bavarian Alps of Ammergau – a winter wonderland off the beaten treks. On our hikes we will enjoy the view of the snowhite mountains, the nice chats with new friends, relax and recharge your batteries. Walking with snowshoes is easy to learn for every hiker and it is real fun! We will show you the techniques and guide you on beautiful paths.
After the morning yoga we will enjoy a rich breakfast and start our hikes. A longer hike on Saturday brings us to the summit of a mountain (e.g. Pürschling, with lunch on the Pürschlingshaus or Hörnle with lunch on the Hörnle Hütte, depending on the weather). On Sunday we experience the winter silence on a smaller but equally beautiful tour. In the afternoon the yoga session brings us more to the yin side: stretch, relax and feel with all senses.
Our Bavarian Guesthouse is located in the small village of Altenau. We have a meditation walk starting just behind our guesthouse, offering regional and seasonal Bavarian cuisine. A real treat for our palate, also for vegetarian.
Daily 2 hours of Hatha Yoga and Meditation in the morning and in the evening. It is the ideal environment for beginners, since we will dedicate plenty of time explaining the poses and their benefits in detail.
Experienced yogis will have the chance to deepen and improve their practice with
invigorating Vinyasa flow sequences. Meditation sessions and relaxing techniques like
Yoga Nidra will be also integrated in our program.
Good health and fitness for 4-5 hours of hiking on hiking trails with proper ascents and descents are a must. The tour on Saturday has approx. 800m of altitude level, on Sunday approx. 400m.
