About the hike

Have you ever tried outdoor yoga in the magnificent surroundings of mountains, snow, glacier and glacier lakes? If not, you will be trilled to experience the power of nature and its impact on body and mind in combination with yoga.

We will provide you with all equipment needed to hike on the glacier and to practice yoga. A professional glacier guide will be responsible for the hiking on the glacier, whilst our highly educated yoga teacher, Ingrid, will take you trough the yoga class.

Total duration of yoga experience is approximately 4-5 hours including a walking distance of about 4 km and time for lunch (bring your own or preorder).

There will be no ice climbing or challenging walking on the glacier. The focus of this hike will be on the magic ice landscape and its surrounding nature, fresh air, silence, breath, inner harmony and the mind-body connection.
