Lavaux Terasses Hike, Wine Tasting & Local Food October 24th
Lavaux, Beyond the Postcard
There are places that impress you with their beauty.
And then there are places that invite you to slow down.
Lavaux is one of them.
Stretching along the shores of Lake Geneva, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux Vineyard Terraces have been shaped by generations of winemakers, stone by stone, season after season. Here, the rhythm of life follows the rhythm of nature.
In autumn, the vineyards glow with shades of gold, amber and deep red. The air becomes crisp, the light softer, and every path seems to invite reflection. Walking through Lavaux is not about reaching a destination. It is about being present to the landscape, the stories it holds, and the simple pleasure of moving through it at a human pace.
At Be Outside, we believe that nature is more than scenery. It is a place to reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with what truly matters.
Lavaux offers the perfect setting for this. Between vineyard paths, panoramic views, local flavours and meaningful conversations, we create space to pause, breathe, and experience Switzerland in a deeper way.
This is not simply a hike.
It is a day of immersion in a living landscape where culture, nature and wellbeing meet.
A chance to walk slowly, taste locally, and return home feeling refreshed, grounded and inspired.
Intentions of the Day
Join us for a slow and inspiring day in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Lavaux Vineyard Terraces, where golden vineyards meet breathtaking views over Lake Geneva.
This special autumn experience invites you to step away from the rush of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty, flavours, and traditions of one of Switzerland’s most remarkable landscapes.
Together, we will wander along scenic vineyard trails, discover hidden corners of Lavaux, enjoy meaningful conversations, and take time to appreciate the changing season. Along the way, you’ll learn about the region’s rich wine heritage before sharing a delicious local lunch and tasting wines crafted by passionate local winemakers.
More than a hike or a wine tour, this is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and celebrate the abundance of autumn in good company.

Feedback from previous retreats
I had the most wonderful and amazing time on the FORest retreat this February. The description of the retreat sounded right up my alley, but the actual experience far exceeded what I expected.
From the warm welcome prior to the retreat, the supportive and loving nature of those organising the course as well the other participants. Right to the content of the retreat which was well balanced and inclusive.
The worst part was having to leave, but I have every intention to return one day ❤️
