7 Nights Hiking & Yoga Holiday in La Rosiere French Alps
Join us on our seven-night hiking yoga holiday in the French Alps. This retreat will be filled with adventure and time to relax, featuring three guided hikes in the mountains and a transfer to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, where you can participate in activities such as whitewater rafting or cycling. For your hiking adventure, you will stay in wellness apartments where you can relax in the sauna or swim in the pool.
We are excited to return to the French Alps this summer for our annual summer hiking yoga holiday in the mountains. We are back in one of our favourite locations in the French Alps, La Rosiere. This yoga hiking holiday is for all levels, whether you are a seasoned hiker or a newbie. Hiking in the French Alps is one of the most breathtaking places in the world, and we love to share this experience with you. We have been running these yoga holidays for over 15 years. This is an active yoga holiday, featuring three hikes – one that lasts up to 3 hours and two for up to 4 hours, accompanied by a packed lunch, stunning views, and wild swim spots along the way. Amongst the hikes, there is time to unwind in the wellness spa, allowing you to switch off, relax, and reconnect with nature and yourself.
We have chosen this area because we love the Tarentaise Valley and its offerings. You will stay in the same wellness apartments we use for our ski yoga holidays. They are centrally located in the small village of La Rosiere, right at the foot of the ski lifts and slopes, so you can easily access the mountains. The La Rosière village is situated at 1,850 m, offering panoramic views of the entire valley and a stunning sunset every evening.
The wellness apartments offer views of the entire valley, and one features an outdoor terrace, allowing you to enjoy the stunning views and sunsets. You are also near cafes and shops, so you can choose to join in the activities or have a day to yourself if you prefer. The apartments feature a wellness centre with a 15-metre swimming pool, sauna, steam room, solarium, and spa offering massage treatments, as well as a sun deck for unwinding and enjoying the sun.
This summer, your week hiking retreat in the French Alps will help you connect to the beautiful nature that is all around, enjoy hikes to energise, massage and spa days to relax and unwind and wild swims, try white water rafting or the luge for some fun! Enjoy a day trip to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and for those who would like to feel exhilarated, try some white water rafting, or hire a bike and cycle along the river. Or for a more relaxing experience in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, wander around the town, go to the outdoor pool, and enjoy swimming and sunshine.
The apartments are modern in design with cosy bedrooms and a choice of single, twin, and double rooms. They have shared bathrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The apartments offer breathtaking views of the Tarantaise Valley on one side and, on the other, stunning vistas of the mountains and lush greenery.
The hiking yoga experience in the French Alps and La Rosiere is a real adventure, and with local, qualified mountain guides to show you around, you will reach new heights with stunning views. You can even spot Mont Blanc in the distance. Feel connected to nature and escape the summer heat. There’s nothing like a hiking yoga holiday to exhilarate and enliven body and mind. If you aren’t an experienced hiker, to enjoy your holiday, we recommend going out on a few hikes before the retreat to prepare for the adventure in La Rosiere.
Yoga will be in one of the apartments with views of the valley below. Feel revitalised by yoga in the morning, and unwind and relax with all yoga equipment in the evening. For your French Alps yoga and hiking holiday, the packing list is here.

We will provide packed lunches for hikes if you are out during lunchtime, so please bring a packed lunch box and backpack to carry it in. On the other days, lunch is not included, and you are surrounded by shops and cafes, so you can choose what you would like to do for lunch on those days.

Sustainability
We are working towards reducing our carbon footprint, and here are some ways we, as a company, are doing this.
We are a 88% vegan company, 10% vegetarian and 2% fish or meat (only when staying in boutique hotels that offer these options). This makes up a huge percentage of carbon emissions that we avoid so easily because our food is still delicious, balanced and even more creative. So, thanks to you all for enjoying our healthy (mostly) plant-based meals.
The difference: Most travel companies struggle to reduce their travellers’ meat and dairy consumption, which accounts for a large portion of their carbon emissions.
We stay primarily in one location for the duration of the retreat. We have started staying in a few locations on our long haul, but it is limited to 2 or 3 locations over an 8 – 10 night period. Staying in one place means low carbon emissions because we aren’t burning fuel to get around.
The difference: Other adventure travel companies move around every two days, using alot of petrol in vehicles for sometimes only 1 or 2 people.
Our activities are low-impact—yoga, hiking, surfing, skiing/boarding, whitewater rafting, SUP, and kayaking are all very low-carbon activities, in fact, zero-carbon (except skiing/snowboarding due to the ski lifts, which is also low). These activities are included in the price we measure. The carbon may increase with travel to and from these activities in vehicles.
The difference: Other travel companies can include high-carbon activities in the price, such as jet skiing, quad biking, and jeep driving, which increases their carbon footprint.
We run more than half of our retreats and holidays in the UK; these are very low-carbon holidays.
We currently don’t measure our guests’ travel as part of our carbon output because our guests don’t only come from the UK, so it is hard for us to predict this. We also don’t include travel in the holiday price, which is not part of our calculations. We know that we provide these holidays, so we are looking to include this carbon measurement in the future so we are investigating how we can reduce this.
The carbon measurements at the top of the page with the icons are per person for the whole retreat.
Ultra-low-carbon holidays
These holidays are below 200 kg per person, and our UK retreats are below 100 or even 70 kg, so these are great adventures for low carbon breaks.
Ski holidays are actually low in carbon!
In France, many ski resorts are turning to green energy to power the lifts. If you eat low in meat and dairy while you’re there and hire your ski equipment, this makes your trip as low-carbon as possible.
How can you help?
There are ways that you can help reduce your carbon when coming on our retreats and holidays:
Travel by train, try slow travel across Europe and the UK.
If travelling abroad to Europe or further afield, choose carbon capture schemes, check out Ecologi. Offsetting is not the best thing to do these days, but try carbon capture where you pay for carbon to be absorbed into the environment.
Car share UK – we recommend when guests travel by train to arrive and depart at the same time to taxi share – which helps keep costs and carbon emissions down. Why not consider car share, too? Most guests who drive come alone or with a friend; we have WhatsApp groups that, if you like, you can see who is driving from your area and enjoy getting to know each other on the way to the retreats, and save on your carbon emissions at the same time!
We are by no means saints when it comes to producing carbon, as a travel company we know this is very difficult to reduce. We are working to reduce our carbon output each year by measuring it and then creating plans to reduce it. We are reviewing all our venues and asking them how they can improve their carbon reduction as we don’t own any of our venues but we would like to work with them to help in any way we can. We want to be transparent with this, so please get in touch for more information. As we change things, we will update the website.
- A hat and high factor sunscreen
- A range of hiking gear for all weather, layers from vest top to long sleeved top and fleece, waterproof jacket, worn in hiking boots, good socks
- back pack, waterbottle, packed lunch box
- Yoga gear
- swimsuit for pool and spa area and wild swims on the hikes
- Shorts, t-shirts, warm jumper, relax clothes for daytime/eve
Reviews
Beautiful France
Our France yoga holidays are situated in the breathtaking French Alps mountain range. For 2026, we are offering retreats in two stunning alpine locations: our beloved La Rosière in the Tarentaise Valley, and our new retreat home in Samoëns, nestled in the Grand Massif region. Whether you’re joining us in winter for skiing and snowboarding or in summer for hiking and mountain adventures, both destinations offer an unforgettable balance of activity, relaxation, and reconnection.
La Rosière – Winter
We’ve been hosting yoga retreats in La Rosière for over 15 years, and it continues to be one of our favourite locations in the French Alps. Located at 1,850m in the Tarentaise Valley, this charming resort is known for its sun-drenched slopes, welcoming atmosphere, and incredible views across the valley. In winter, it’s a skier’s dream with ski-in-ski-out access and the San Bernardo ski area, which connects with La Thuile in Italy.
The ski terrain here is fantastic for all levels. Beginners will love the wide-open front-facing slopes, while more experienced skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the full mountain and venture over the Italian border and back. Our accommodation is in modern wellness apartments right in the heart of the village, with shops, restaurants, ski hire and ski school just steps away. After a morning on the slopes, return to unwind in the sauna, enjoy the indoor pool, book a massage, or simply soak up the mountain views from the hot tub.
Travelling to La Rosière is easy and low-impact. You can take the train via Paris from London St Pancras to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, followed by a short 20-minute taxi to the village. Train travellers can also benefit from a 15% discount on their ski pass.
In summer, La Rosière becomes a peaceful alpine escape. The lifts remain open for walkers and mountain bikers, and the trails are lined with wildflowers, offering expansive views and quiet spots for picnics or wild swims. Our summer hiking yoga retreats include three guided hikes, visits to Bourg-Saint-Maurice for white-water rafting or relaxing in the pool, and plenty of time to enjoy the wellness centre and the natural surroundings. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and restoration.
Samoëns – Winter & Summer
New for 2026, we are introducing our yoga retreats in the beautiful alpine village of Samoëns. Tucked away in the Grand Massif region, Samoëns is a true hidden gem, charming, traditional, and surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery. It’s one of the few alpine resorts classified as a historic monument, and it offers a peaceful, authentic feel while still giving access to a huge ski and hiking area.
In winter, Samoëns connects to the Grand Massif ski area with 265km of pistes. From tree-lined beginner runs to challenging reds and off-piste routes, there’s something for every skier or snowboarder. A free ski bus stops just 300m from the chalet and takes you to the Grand Massif Express gondola. You can store your gear in heated lockers at the lift station, making your daily ski routine smooth and stress-free.
In summer, the surrounding mountains are filled with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and panoramic viewpoints. You can swim in natural lakes, try paragliding, or simply enjoy the peaceful garden at the chalet.
Our home in Samoëns is a restored 18th-century farmhouse. With 8 ensuite bedrooms, a yoga barn, hot tub, Swedish sauna, and private gardens, this is a space designed for true relaxation. Whether you’re sipping tea on the terrace, practising yoga, or curling up with a book after a day of adventure, you’ll feel at peace from the moment you arrive.
The centre of Samoëns is just a 12-minute walk from the chalet, so you can enjoy a coffee in the medieval square, visit the botanical gardens, or explore the local market.
Whichever destination you choose, La Rosière or Samoëns, in summer or winter, our French Alps yoga holidays are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, spend time in nature, enjoy nourishing food, and feel supported every step of the way.
