HEIDI RETREATS

Story

Heidi Retreats was born as we, Céline & Chloé, connected over our passion for intuitive entrepreneurship, our love for homemade cooking, and our desire to bring people together. Years of living abroad and travels has shown us how beautiful of an area we grew up in. Now we want to host you here, on the mountains where we both grew up and now, have returned to. Heidi Retreats is an invitation for you to come back to yourself as you immerse into slow mountain living for a week.

PS: Besides Heidi being the title of a book and movie about a Swiss girl growing up in the Alps with her grandfather, Heidi is also Chloé’s grandma’s name, who’s passed her down the art of harvesting and preparing food from scratch.

Location

The retreat takes place in a small Swiss mountain town called Les Diablerets. Nested in the middle of the Alps, this picturesque town is perfectly located for hiking, mountain biking in Summer and snow sports in the Winter. Most of its visitors and inhabitants are local Swiss people which makes it relatively quiet and peaceful compared to the main mountain resorts in Switzerland. This is one of the many chose this place, we really want you to experience Switzerland “as a local” would!
