Matterhorn Summer Blossom — A Cloud9 Retreat · 7–9 August 2026

A wonderful weekend in the mountains — good conversations and connection, yoga, hiking, cozy meals, and simply being on Cloud9.

Three unhurried days beneath the Matterhorn to reset your mind, body & heart. Daily yoga for every level, meditation and mountain time, spa, and beautifully looked-after meals — everything taken care of, so all you have to do is arrive and breathe.

The feeling

How the weekend feels

Slow mornings, open mountain air, and a small group that quickly feels like friends.

🧘

Movement

Sunrise yoga with Matterhorn views, practised in different beautiful settings — including CERVO and the wonderful wellness room at Hemizeus. All levels welcome — join whatever feels right.

🏔️

Mountains

Hiking for all levels — choose a gentle or more challenging route, with or without mountain transport. Plus meditation and quiet time to think, wander, and feel small in the best way.

🌸

Connection

Just 10 guests. Good conversations over long dinners, and the kind of connection that lingers long after.

💆

Deep rest

Spa access at Iremia Spa, journaling, and unhurried evenings. Massage and coaching available on request.

Your guides

The people holding the space

A small, warm team guiding movement, stillness, and everything in between.

Quetzal Santiago

Yoga

Quetzal studied Contemporary Dance in Mexico and danced for the Mexico National Contemporary Ballet for five years, alongside numerous collaborative artistic projects. From 2004 to 2008 she received the Young Artists Grant from her state government, creating choreographic works presented in both Switzerland and Mexico, often inspired by daily life and urban poetry. Her exploration of body movement eventually led her to yoga, which became an integral part of her life after moving to Switzerland. Today, Quetzal's classes beautifully blend her diverse artistic background with her unique, warm energy.

Getting to Zermatt

Travel & Location

Zermatt is a car-free alpine village at 1,620 m, at the foot of the Matterhorn. Its magic begins even before you arrive — on the scenic train journey climbing up the valley to the village — and only deepens the moment you step off the train.

✈️ By Air

Geneva (GVA) — ~3 hrs by train. Most convenient for international guests.

Zurich (ZRH) — ~3.5 hrs via Visp.

🚂 By Train

Swiss Rail (SBB) runs direct connections to Visp, then the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to Zermatt. Scenic and stress-free.
