The practice, elsewhere

Trade busy schedules, endless notifications and crowded gyms for mountain trails, fresh alpine air and days that unfold a little differently.

This is a low-key, down-to-earth retreat that does exactly what its name promises. Every practice prepares you for the mountains, and every hike becomes an extension of your practice. Expect full days in nature, meaningful conversations, mindful movement and plenty of moments of stillness. No packed schedules or unnecessary luxury — just mountains, movement and a group of like-minded people.

You stay at the Wienerhof in Trins: an 18th-century house turned modern retreat space with beautifully designed rooms, a dedicated yoga studio and inviting communal spaces. From the front door, countless hiking trails begin, and the Stubai Alps rise around the village.

Every morning and evening comes together for movement — a balanced mix of vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, Pilates and breathwork. At the centre of the week are two guided hikes through some of the region's most breathtaking alpine scenery. Everything else is up to you: another trail, a quiet café in a mountain village, a book with a view, a nap, a swim in a mountain river.
