More than a getaway. A weekend in the mountains, designed to reconnect body, mind and heart.

Three days at the foot of the Matterhorn, intentionally designed for physical presence, mental stillness and human connection. Yoga, hiking, slow meals, book inspiration and a group that quickly feels like friends. Simply being on Cloud9.

The feeling

How the weekend feels

Slow mornings, fresh 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 8 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.

Host & Founder

Sarah brings a corporate background which deepened her appreciation for human wellbeing and genuine connection rooted in presence, reflection, and the importance of taking time to recharge. Zermatt has been her home since 2019 and holds a very personal meaning for her — the place where she lives, celebrated important life milestones, and experienced how nature invites people to slow down, let go, and truly be together. As a curator and connector, Sarah brings people together to create moments that feel special, effortless, and deeply shared. Through Cloud9, she channels her passion for connection, beautiful settings, and thoughtful details into retreats that feel authentic, joyful and lasting.

Bee Wise — 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive, by Philip Atkinson & Guest Writers
Part of the experience

The Bee Wise Book

by Philip Atkinson

A thought-provoking reflection on the complex lives of bees, and how that can be used as a metaphor for leadership in large organisations — there is something for everyone in this fascinating book. Woven gently through the retreat, it offers a way to slow down, reflect, and notice what surfaces across the weekend, from the first evening together to the closing reflections. A quiet companion for the mountains, and a keepsake to take home.

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.
