The Spirit of ALPS:
​Passion, Grace & Love - Winter
- 9 days French Alps winter explore at the foot of Mont Blanc 

About the Retreat:
"Out of the forest at last there stood the mountain,
wholly unveiled, awful in bulk and majesty, filling all the view.
Like a separate, newborn world,
yet withal so fine and so beautiful it might well fire the dullest observer to desperate enthusiasm." 

Be amazed by the stunning nature and spend time deep into it. 
Observe and get mingled with the spirit of the region that are cultivated by the vast powerful mountain throughout the centuries.
We will live deep here at the foot of Mont Blanc like the mountain families here,
enjoying the nature here with the best suited activities; also,
to lives the values of the alps through culture interaction:
passion, grace and love!

as for what the mountain inspires the region into its roots of cultures inspires us deeply as well...
