Soulful Human & Nature Experiences
At all Seasons
Welcome to 'nature & patrimony' 4 day trek
May 9-12th, 2024 pays D'enhaut - GSTAAD VALLEY, SWITZERLAND
After a long hibernation, in springtime nature in the mountains finally comes back to full life, the temperatures rise and the sun shines! The nature is reawakening from the winter sleep and blooms in all colors.
Awaken your senses with meadows of alpine flowers, mountain streams full of water and chirping birds.
I invite you on a journey through the valley that is in yellow bloom at the beginning oy May. Valley where local traditions are still alive & cows relaxingly enjoying their best life.

Testimonials From Participants
'I would like to thank Ruta for this opportunity to know myself better and even finding out again who I am. For a very long time i was standing like a wall and looking for excuses...during this retreat with the support of Be Outside Coaching i have discovered things that I would have never discovered by myself. Ruta supports you wholeheartedly and guides you in a way that you open your eyes fresh and start seeing things that you have never seen before. My 5 days with Ruta in the Swiss Alps have been unforgettable. Ruta gives more than one would think is possible. I am just so happy that i could participate in this journey of personal-discovery.'
