Back to Basics February 21-22d

“In an over-stimulated, over-rushed world, remember what it is to make a fire, cook your own meal, watch the sunset, have a conversation in a full presence.” – Ruta from Be Outside Coaching                                                                                            
Snow shoeing in the mountains means immersing yourself into wild landscapes, silence, pristine nature and getting to know local life.

Stroll through snow caped trees that are reaching the sky and sometimes are hardly visible because of the amount of snow. 

Submerge into the Swiss back country life, wilderness, allow yourself to get away from the hustle & bustle – join us to experience awe and adventure during this weekend in the mountain hut.

This is an exceptional weekend- we will have mountain hut exclusively for our group only to ensure privacy & intimacy.

We will walk for around 4hours every day- snow shoeing, immersing in nature and taking time to be and back to the basics. Each day we will make 5-8km with 400-600m+ of elevation gain. This experience is suitable for medium level hikers or beginners with good fitness condition. But as always in those trips- mindset and motivation are the most important elements.

Activities during the weekend

I invite you to re-experience the simplicity of life: cook your own meal together with other human beings, make a fire, watch a sunset, enjoy a conversation, experience simple life.

About the Outing Leader – Ruta

Ruta, mountain leader, nature therapy guide & coach invites you to explore the infinite beauty of nature and reconnect with your true self. 

IMG_20210121_164209 (1).jpg

Ruta did her first hike back in 2013- she then realized that the real life is not happening in the indoor- office environment but rather outside.

This made her realize that she was missing something important in her life- connection with Nature. Since then, most of her time she spends outside- climbing, hiking, wild camping, walking in the forests, parks and other natural places. She has become hiking ‚guru‘ and is now passionate to share the most beautiful places in the Swiss Alps with the others. Retreat participants often say that Ruta’s passion for Nature is contagious.

Ruta is a professional mountain leader ( Association of Mountain Guides in Switzerland), neuro-coach (Neuroleadership Institute, London), and forest therapy guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, USA).

By creating Be Outside Coaching movement, she has connected her 2 major passions: activities outside and human development. Be Outside Coaching delivers immersive and holistic Nature experiences in the different corners of pristine the Swiss Alps.

Be Outside. Be Authentic. Be You
