Back to nature 3 day snow shoeing & nature connection
This is a 3-day unique experience in a kind and caring small community ( max 9 participants) of human beings in an authentic and pristine Alpine environment.
Meet you in Pays D‘Enhaut region, Switzerland.
Walking/ Snow shoeing in Pays D’Enhaut region means immersing yourself into authentic, fairy tale like landscapes. This region breaths simplicity, coziness and ‘la douceur pour le Coeur’ (open hearted softness).
During 3 days we will take time to snow shoe in the hidden corners of this Valley, not rushing anywhere, taking our time to appreciate the landscape, cultural life, human and nature connection.
We will stay in a local and historical hotel at Chateaux D’Oex.

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

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

Testimonials From Previous Outings & Retreats
,Ruta is an experienced hiker and mountain leader. She offers diverse workshops and retreats to connect with nature (and yourself) which are interesting, beautiful and inspire mindfulness. She cares about making her clients happy and is keen to learn and grow. I highly recommend her products and guidance. I will certainly join her again!,. Pilar Gomez
,Ruta is a fabulous guide and retreat host. She’s friendly and super caring. She knows very well what she is doing, wants to provide and what to do. I enjoy doing hiking without worrying about which direction to take, when to take my train, and all the planning. I trust that everyone will have soul-opening and mind-boggling experience with Ruta if you let her kindly take your hands and lead you into the woods or over the hills., Trinh Nguyen
