Finding Balance through Stillness – Meditation Retreat

A unique opportunity to spend time in silence and introspection. Be part of this weekend retreat in which you will learn various traditional meditation techniques that will help you to turn your attention inward and develop more harmony in your being.
For a truly profound experience, we go beyond the body and mind, working on the clear perception of one’s own consciousness. This is the unchanging part of you that is always present. The meditation classes are merged with a daily yoga class and a theory lecture to form a holistic experience. The presented theory will help you to understand the connection between the practice and your inner experience.Take time for yourself and come into your center.

By Car

Located on the Tyrolean Fernpass, in the north-west of Austria, close to the German border the AlpenRetreat is easily reached via the Fernpassstrasse B179 (E532).
At the top of the Fernpass (Fernpasshöhe) there is a petrol station named "Dolle". Opposite of it on the other side of the street is a roadside restaurant (Fernpaß Rast), a red building, and a big yellow building (the former Fernpass hotel). Follow the small street between the restaurant and the yellow house for about 200m and you have reached the AlpenRetreat.

Places connected by the Fernpassstraße
Füssen – Reutte – Heiterwang – Lermooser Tunnel – Fernpass (AlpenRetreat) – Nassereith. At the border-tunnel in Füssen the Fernpassstrasse connects with the federal highway 310 and the A 7. In Nassereith it merges into the B 189 along the Inntal (Inn valley) in direction south-east towards Telfs and in south-west direction towards Imst.

In winter it is compulsory in Austria to have winter tires on your car. Although the Fernpassstrasse is well maintained and therefore easily accessible, sometimes the streets can still be covered in snow. In exceptional cases snow chains may be required (very rarely). If you are coming with a rental car, make sure it is equipped with winter tires (the rental company is obliged to provide this).
