A hedonistic retreat between ritual, music and alpine magic
For the fifth time, CERVO Mountain Resort invites you to the holistic retreat A Love Beyond from 19 - 21 September.
Under this year's motto ‘A Hedonistic Retreat: An Exploring Weekend of Mountains, Rituals and Music’, guests can once again expect a curated experience full of mindfulness, culinary delights, art and music - at the foot of the iconic Matterhorn.
Inspired by the desire to go beyond the ordinary, the retreat combines the core elements of the CERVO spirit: Beyond Exploring, Beyond Sustainability & Beyond Culture. In 2025, the weekend will once again be a platform for conscious encounters, creative forms of expression and profound experiences of nature.

On Saturday, René Schudel will create the Fire & Mountains Lunch in Zermatt’s beautiful landscape next to the Zmutt Glacier below the north face of the Matterhorn. Andy Varonier will once again provide the perfect wine accompaniment, with his fine wines rounding off the culinary experience.
There will also be workshops with Velia de Iuliis (this year's CERVO Artist in Residence) and Johan Olzon Åkerström Founder of Soeder. The Zurich-based manufactory is offering a perfume workshop with essences made from Swiss stone pine wood collected below the north face of the Matterhorn.
Mindfulness will be provided by keur with intensive breathwork sessions, Sukkhadas with ice bathing experiences in glacial lakes and Niki Smirni, founder of Travelgems, with a guided sound meditation.
