Winter. Stillness. Time for you. Leave everyday life behind and enjoy a stylish break at the Hotel Saratz in Pontresina, nestled in the winter landscape of the Engadin. A weekend with yoga sessions tailored to riding, rides through snowy forests, and relaxed hours in the spa with a view of the mountains. Snow crunching under the hooves, fine dining in the evening, conversations by the fireplace, and moments where you don't have to do anything and simply are. A retreat that gives you space, and lets you arrive back at yourself.

"The Wellness, Riding & Yoga Weekend
moved me incredibly, and somehow left me feeling inwardly "cleansed". By evening I was still emotional. At the same time, I had such a fun, adventurous, and entertaining time with wonderful people. I feel grounded and can start the new week with lots of energy."
– Rebecca
Program
Day 1
We meet at noon on the first day for a shared lunch at the Hotel Saratz in Pontresina, get to know each other, and take in the beautiful mountain landscape. Afterwards, one group heads to the Engadin River Ranch in Madulain to explore the stunning surroundings on horseback (ride for advanced riders). If you're not riding, you can relax in the spa, go for a walk, or enjoy the winter sun on the terrace and the view into Val Roseg. Before dinner, we stretch our riding-tired muscles in a Hatha Flow, and to round off the day, a delicious 3-course menu is served. If you like, you can finish the evening with a nightcap at the bar...

Hotel Saratz
We spend three days at the Hotel Saratz in Pontresina, quietly set between larch forest and the wide Engadin landscape. This historic house combines Belle Époque charm with clear, contemporary architecture. Generous windows bring the mountain light inside, bright rooms meet warm materials, and the atmosphere feels stylish yet relaxed.
The four-star superior Hotel Saratz owes its special character to a blend of genuine hospitality, fine seasonal cuisine, and a generous spa area with pool and saunas, overlooking the snowy landscape. The rooms and suites are quiet and finely designed, with modern bathrooms and a clean alpine style that leaves room to arrive and breathe.
Rooms
You can choose between a single room and a double room. Triple rooms are available on request.
Check-in: approx. 3:00 pm
Check-out: 11:00 am
Spa
Swimming area: indoor pool, open daily from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm
Wellness area with Saracen Bath: open daily from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Massages & treatments can be booked at reception or in advance via email.
Riding
Das Maximalgewicht für ReiterInnen liegt bei 80kg. Und es besteht Helmpflicht.
The happiness of this earth lies on the backs of horses. There's something to that, especially when you're riding out in the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Upper Engadin.
So that everyone gets to enjoy the riding that suits them, there will be two riding groups: one for advanced riders (from riding level 4, Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon) and one for beginners (from riding level 1, riding at a walk and, if it feels right for everyone, a little trot, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon).
The horses at the Engadin River Ranch are sure-footed and reliable Franches-Montagnes. Almost all of them are trained in classical English riding and are ridden with a snaffle bit and a Western saddle. A few are ridden with an English saddle.
For this retreat, the horses will already be saddled when you arrive at the ranch. This is standard practice at the Engadin River Ranch for shorter rides, to make sure all horses are properly saddled and bridled. You're welcome to help with unsaddling.
The maximum rider weight is 80 kg. Helmets are mandatory.

Die Yogastunden haben mir sehr gut gefallen – und das Reiten hat mich einfach begeistert. Eine schöne Kombination.
