Alpine Azure Retreats

The growth of a coaching program.

The inspiration of an alpine adventure.

The joy of feeling alive.

START YOUR PERSONAL JOURNEY IN THE SWISS ALPS

Alpine Azure Retreats offer a rare and exciting journey to enhance your personal growth while exploring Swiss mountains.

Combining the learning and reflection of a personal development coaching retreat with the challenge and inspiration of an outdoor adventure, we support extraordinary individuals to achieve their dreams.

Our programs are built on the belief that people are interested in taking a journey from the outside world to their inner dreams. Programs enable women to learn and support one another on this journey in a fun and safe environment. Our playground is the Swiss Alps, where our home base for exploring is a Swiss mountain hut. We explore nature and glaciers together. The spectacular mountain landscape creates the perfect environment for reflection, introspection and growth.

SUMMER 2026 GLACIER RETREAT tentative date: September 2-6, 2026!

Coaching, Glacier & Peak Experience Lötschental, Valais

It’s time for a shift. You’re ready for a change.

You desire that jolt of energy that comes with trying something new, feeling inspired, and stepping out of your comfort zone.

You want real connection, with others and with yourself. You’re eager to embark on the next chapter of your personal growth journey.

You’re ready for inspiration. Something is missing (but you don’t know what exactly). You long for a break from stress and routine.

Gain a new perspective about yourself, build resilience, and overcome self-imposed limits. Learn together how to walk in crampons and move as a team on a glacier. Discover the Swiss landscape up close like you’ve always dreamed of. Go home with a renewed outlook and confidence for work and life. Using a unique fusion of techniques from personal development, coaching, and mindfulness practices, coupled with reflective time in nature, we lead you step by step on a journey up a mountain to rediscover the best version of yourself.

Karoline (31, DE), Physicist

“Right from the beginning I felt like being part of the [Alpine Azure] family. I will always remember these 5 days in the Swiss Alps where I tried many things for the first time and got to know myself much better. I was inspired by the other women and profited from their experience as much as I profited from my own.”

  • Schedule Your Discovery Call

    Similar to a 1-1 coaching program, we would never expect you to sign up for our 5-day retreat without speaking to us first. You can ask us any questions, understand more about coaching, share any concerns (we’ve got your back!), get to know us and put your mind at ease that this is the right program for YOU!

  • Register for Your Retreat!

    We keep our retreats small to cultivate trust and connection. We wouldn’t want it any other way, but that means retreats fill up quickly. To secure your place, schedule a call to get to know us, make your decision and then complete the online registration.

  • Join the Group Welcome & 1-1 Coaching Call

    You will meet the other participants and start to connect over a group video call. We discuss logistics, gear, packing tips and address open questions or concerns. After this, we leave our screens behind (finally!) and the next time we meet will be outside!

  • Yay! Go on Your Retreat

    The day is finally here! Meet at the trailhead in Falferalp on Wednesday at lunch time. After a kick off briefing and some fun, we start our hike to the hut (and not too fast…we’re here to enjoy ourselves). The meeting point is accessible by Swiss public transit or car. We make it as easy as possible for you.

  • Post Retreat Coaching (to keep you moving and inspired!)

    You didn’t think that was all, did you? We have a follow up coaching call after the retreat. Why do we do this? Because no personal growth journey is done in just 5 days. Experience tells us that ongoing support continues the positive momentum when you return to your busy life.

You’re eager to consider what you want in the new year and make plans to get there.

You seek some moments of calm, to be outside, to enjoy the sunshine.

You enjoy trying new things, feeling inspired, meeting new people, and stepping out of your comfort zone.

Led by Women, For Women

Hi! We’re Andrea and Chris. We created Alpine Azure in 2018 to improve women’s lives by combining two of our lifelong passions: personal development and the outdoors. We feel our most vibrant, confident and unstoppable when we are in the mountains. We aspire to cultivate these qualities in other women, both on and off the mountain, so they can lead self-directed, purposeful, and fulfilling lives.
