Winter Ready Retreat in Nendaz
Six winter days in the Valais Alps with yoga, breathwork, meditation, spa time and gentle creative practices at Mad Retreat Hotel.
Why it caught our eye
We like the way this retreat pairs quiet winter landscapes with a varied but unhurried programme. Movement, stillness, nature and full-board hospitality are all held in one place, making it easier to arrive and truly settle.
What you can expect
Across five nights, the programme includes four yoga practices, four meditation and breathwork sessions, aerial yoga, a seasonal ceremony, a therapeutic nature walk, cold-water practice, art therapy and a cacao ceremony. Full board, one massage and spa access are included.
Good to know before you go
6–11 December 2026 in Nendaz. The current BookRetreats offer starts at USD 2,344 early-bird or USD 2,757 standard, with a USD 703 deposit; prices may change. Deposit refunds are 100% at 30+ days, 50% at 15–29 days and 0% within 14 days. Cold-water practice and cacao may not suit everyone; ask the organiser about health considerations, accessibility and dietary needs before booking. Accessibility is not described anywhere on the retreat's pages, so ask the organiser directly if you need to know about terrain, stairs or how far the walking goes. Ceremonial cacao is a stimulant. It can interact with antidepressants and heart medication, and is not advised in pregnancy or with a heart condition — check with a doctor if any of that applies to you. Cacao ceremony is a spiritual and personal-development practice rather than a medical treatment.
