The Lodge, Sir Richard Branson's luxurious mountain chalet in Verbier, is hosting the ultimate Mountain Wellness Retreat from 10th–14th July 2025. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in revitalizing yoga, Pilates, and fitness sessions, complemented by mindfulness workshops and indulgent spa treatments. Connect with nature through guided hikes, e-biking trails, refreshing glacial lake swims, and exhilarating activities such as paragliding and zip-lining.
The experiential itinerary includes four days of wellness activities, with guests free to participate or relax at their own pace. During the summer, the Alps transform into a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with breathtaking panoramic views setting the scene for hiking, cycling, and fitness pursuits. Verbier, famed for its prestigious cycling events and extensive network of biking trails, is a dream destination for mountain bikers. Hikers can explore everything from gentle scenic walks to longer alpine treks, winding through lush green landscapes that were once snow-covered in winter. Beyond The Lodge, the region offers exhilarating experiences, from paragliding over pristine valleys to swimming in crystal-clear glacial lakes.
For those who prefer a slower pace, there are charming nearby villages to explore, or guests can simply relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings of The Lodge. Inside the luxury chalet, they can take part in mindfulness workshops, designed to enhance relaxation and mental clarity through guided meditation and breathing techniques, as well as energising fitness sessions. Guests can also rejuvenate with yoga and Pilates led by professional instructors, unwind in the indoor and outdoor hot tubs, or soothe tired muscles with a leisurely swim in the heated indoor pool.
The spa offers treatments ranging from reflexology sessions, a specialised foot therapy that balances energy, detoxifies and boosts circulation to traditional tranquillity and deep tissue massages. The Lodge’s expert masseuse is on hand to take relaxation to the highest level.
Evenings are filled with delicious canapés and dinners al fresco on the terrace. The Lodge showcases Swiss and international cuisine, making dining an integral part of guests' stay. Meals during the Mountain Wellness Retreat will feature health-focused, mouth-watering menus crafted by Michelin-trained chefs. Guests can expect fine wines served at dinner and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages available throughout the week.
