For many of us, skiing is about more than just the sport or the physical exercise. It’s about being out in the fresh air in a beautiful snow-capped mountain landscape and feeling the wellbeing which comes from being outside of your usual daily routine. If that’s how you feel then you may want to check out one of the most calming events in Val d'Isère this season: the Val d’Isère Yoga and Wellness Festival. Three days of yoga set against a stunning mountain backdrop also include meditation, walking in consciousness, massage, wellness treatments and a range of other wellbeing activities. Many of the events and classes will be held in both French and English and will include a range of different yoga styles including Tantra, Vinyasa, Hatha, Acro and Yin.
