Wim Hof Method Retreat in Aletsch Arena Switzerland

Jenny and Dominique created an outstanding Wim Hof Method Retreat in Switzerland! The experience was incredible: blending mountains, breathing, cold exposure and deep connections.

In my personal development journey, I joined many communities, including Tony Robbins, Mindvalley, the Biohacker’s center, and now the Wim Hof community. By writing these words, I realize that it is the most complete event that I have ever experienced combining many dimensions that I love: hiking in the Alps, challenging myself and transcending what I think is possible as well as connecting deeply with people from different and interesting backgrounds.

Thank you again!

Count on me to come back next year!

Led by TWO experienced instructors
Jenny Quénard & Dominique Andereggen

• Guided group breathwork sessions:

• Wim Hof Method Breathwork:
Wim Hof breathing, power breathing,
retention and breath hold.

• Transformational Breath Journey:
Conscious connected breathing,
bodywork and deep emotional release.

• Oxygen Advantage:
CO2 tolerance, functional breathing.

• Guided cold exposures (1:1 and group), in natural bodies of water and ice baths, including how to warm up naturally.

• Exercises to deepen connection & understanding of your mind, limits and intuition.

• Theory and science behind the Wim Hof Method and functional breathing.

• Guided movement and nature hikes through some of Switzerland’s most breathtaking scenery.

We are multicultural, Swiss born Wim Hof Method instructors (and an engaged couple! ) who have been practicing the method since 2018.

Dominique is also a certified Breath Master Coach and an Oxygen Advantage Coach in training. Jenny is currently completing certifications in Somatics for the Female Nervous System and Holistic Sex for Women.

Over the years, we have guided more than 2,500 people of all ages, backgrounds and experiences through breathwork, ice baths and moments of deep reconnection to self.

Most of our students arrive with fear and leave with full open hearts, self-trust and new friends they call Family.

For us, this is not about chasing performance. Feeling is understanding. We guide you to trust sensation as wisdom so you can expand your comfort zone with safety and care.

This October retreat will be a very special one for us, as we are expecting our baby in September.

The retreat is absolutely happening as planned, with Dominique fully leading the experience alongside a professional mountain guide for the glacier day.

Jenny’s intention is to be present for parts of the retreat with our baby, with support from her parents on-site, allowing her to share meals, conversations, and some of the softer in-between moments with the group.

At the same time, depending on recovery and what feels right for her body and for the baby, she may not be facilitating breathwork sessions or participating in physically demanding activities.

We wanted to share this transparently so you can choose the experience that feels most aligned for you.

If you are looking for a retreat where Jenny will be more actively co-facilitating, our June 18-21 Aletscharena retreat may be a better fit:

Nope. This is for both beginners and experienced breathers/dippers. We’ll guide you step by step, progressively and safely.
Can I come alone or with someone?
Absolutely. Many come on their own. This is a safe and heart-opening space to connect deeply with yourself... and others.

Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, you can book with a CHF 720 deposit + a 2-month payment plan.
Do I have to participate in every group activity?
No. We work with the principle “feeling is understanding” and there is never any force. If at any point you feel the need to take a pause or rest, that is absolutely fine and fully respected.

That said, we gently encourage participants to give their best and, when it feels right, to step beyond perceived limitations. The key is to listen to your body and its signals rather than the mind’s stories. Everything is an invitation, never an obligation.
Can I participate in the retreat if I am not staying at the hotel, and what costs would apply?
Yes, participation in the retreat is also possible without staying at the hotel. However, we highly recommend that participants stay at the retreat hotel, as this greatly supports the overall flow of the program, timing between sessions, recovery phases, and the group dynamics that naturally develop throughout the retreat.

That said, we fully understand that some participants may already have accommodation in the area (for example, staying with family or friends free of charge). In such cases, participating without hotel accommodation is absolutely possible.

The price for the retreat program (without accommodation) is CHF 1200.–, which INCLUDES: all guided sessions, workshops, group activities and meals (breakfast and dinners at the hotel, and packed lunches). Accommodation and access to hotel-specific facilities are *not included* unless otherwise stated.
