Ticino, Swiss Alps

Rise of Men – Mountain Adventure

2-9 September 2023

This week-long hut-to-hut journey will take you from rocky mountain peaks to serene forest valleys, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Swiss Alps. Along the way, you'll hike Lord of the Rings-like trails, swim in ice-cold mountain lakes, and experience the breathtaking majesty of one of the world's most iconic mountain ranges.

But this retreat is more than just a chance to soak up the scenery – it's an opportunity to connect with other men who are committed to achieving greatness in their lives. Through mindfulness practices, breathwork sessions, and other transformative exercises, you'll deepen your understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

And of course, there will be plenty of fun along the way. We'll have group activities, delicious meals, and opportunities to simply relax and take in the stunning scenery.

One of the highlights of the retreat will be our evenings spent sleeping in mountain huts, far away from civilization and the distractions of modern life. Surrounded by nothing but the beauty and majesty of the Swiss Alps, you'll find a sense of peace and tranquility that's hard to come by in our busy, fast-paced world.

At each of the 8 stages of our journey, we'll take time to reflect on our experiences, connect with our inner selves, and strengthen our sense of brotherhood with the other men on the journey.

This retreat is limited to just 14 participants, so if you're interested, don't hesitate to sign up. We can't wait to embark on this unforgettable journey to the top with you!

The retreat will be held in the mountains of Ticino, Switzerland. We will trek from hut to hut through the Alps.
