Nature Connection Practices
Forest Therapy (japanese Shinrin Yoku) is an art of connecting with nature with your senses.
It's a research based framework for supporting healing and wellbeing through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Experience this practice while hiking in the mountains.
Wild Flower Workshop Outside
As we walk, we will discover rare wild flowers on the way. This valley is known for it! You will find out medicinal benefits,
stories and interesting facts about them.
3000 m peaks
During this trek we have a possibility to reach close to 3000m peaks. There are few of them. Beautiful challenge for mountain lovers & adventurers.
about the place where we will stay
The location of the Hotel Weisshorn is as spectacular as the mountains of the Val d'Anniviers. It is located on the right side of the valley at 2,337 meters above sea level, surrounded by majestic four-thousanders in Valais. The Weisshorn can only be reached on foot or with skins in winter! You will be rewarded for the climb with a magnificent mountain world and pure nature away from any hustle and bustle

About Ruta
Ruta has done 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

Testimonial From previous outings
Alena, mother of 2 and business owner from Switzerland
'This year has been so hard and I have felt a terrible urge to escape my daily life, the uncertainty and the heavy routine. Joining Ruta's Autumn retreat was one of the best things that happened to me in 2020.
Ruta's carefully chosen location for the retreat was beyond what I could have imagined.. She is madly passionate about nature and outdoor living and she transmits this passion and to everyone around. I have discovered forest bathing, mindful hiking, participated in many activities I've never heard of before, I have let myself follow the rhythm and it was incredibly calming, nurturing and emotional experience.
I'm impressed with Ruta's facilitation skills too.
We were a group of 12 women with 12 different nationalities, cultures, backgrounds, personalities and expectations sharing this 3-day experience. Ruta managed all that diversity and strong emotions coming out with ease. She created an inclusive and safe environment for all of us to feel comfortable, heard and supported. Through many different activities, each of us could find a way to share (or not) that one was comfortable with. She managed to keep us motivated and outdoors even when the weather was difficult, during those 3 days we had sun, rain and even snow!!
The retreat was well planned, the sessions were well prepared with little surprises that went straight to the heart of each participant (I can't name as it would be a spoiler for next participants!)
I loved the place so much that I have prolonged my stay by an additional day and I'm already looking forward to next year!!'
