6 Night, Corvara, Dolomites, Italy 
with Jessie Chapman & facilitators
SEPTEMBER 2027: Monday 13 – Sunday 19

Join Jessie Chapman and facilitators for an inspirational yoga and hiking retreat in the Dolomites, based in the mountain village of Corvara in Alta Badia, South Tyrol. Each day begins with morning yoga and a buffet breakfast before we set out on a guided hike through the alpine landscape. Afternoons bring restorative yoga with Jessie and facilitators, followed by an evening meal together at the hotel. The yoga and hiking suit all levels, with personalised guidance and support throughout, and everyone is warmly welcomed and well looked after.

Over six nights we stay in a family-run retreat hotel with a wellness zone, including a steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and hot and cold plunge pools, ready to use after a day on the trails. Massage and spa treatments can also be booked at the hotel. Alta Badia lies in the province of Bolzano, in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic peaks, green valleys, and small villages. Corvara is rich in character and history, and local people still keep their traditions and the Ladin language alive.

Yoga, Restoration & Stillness

Each day on our Italy yoga retreat is centred around morning and afternoon yoga, combined with guided hiking through stunning alpine landscapes. All classes are suitable for every level, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. Guests receive individual guidance and hands-on adjustments from Jessie and facilitators, with props provided throughout.

Jessie’s morning classes combine gentle flowing sequences with breath awareness and longer held postures to cultivate strength, flexibility, correct alignment, and awareness. Afternoons are restorative yoga, a slower, quieter practice to deeply rest the body, slow the body’s systems, and replenish natural energy levels. As evening falls, yoga nidra and pranayama guide you into stillness, calming the mind and nervous system for deep, restful sleep.

Our Hiking Days

Our walking days typically cover between 7 and 13 kilometres, exploring the high mountain region alongside our knowledgeable local Italian guides. For many of the hikes we take the nearby cable car to hike higher in the alpine region. Our routes follow well-worn paths. For those who would like a lighter day, there is always the option to enjoy a shorter walk, explore Corvara town and simply relax in the hotel and spa wellness area.

Accommodation & Meals

For this Italy Yoga Retreat in the Dolomites we stay in a lovely 4.5 star family run hotel in the heart of Corvara. All rooms and suites feature elegant and contemporary style in the local Ladin tradition. Furnished with high end raw materials for a clean and relaxed retreat stay. Hotel facilities include a in-house wellness spa with swimming pool, sauna, steam room, warm stone relaxation benches and jacuzzi along with a range of spa treatments guests can book in for. Our meals are enjoyed at the in-house dining room with a delicious buffet breakfast before our hiking days and a hearty dinner after afternoon yoga. Our lunches are enjoyed as picnics on our hikes or we may stop off at a mountain restaurant or a cafe in Corvara for lunch on some days. Special dietary requirements catered for with advance notice.

What Guests Say

While this is a new retreat location for Radiance Retreats, here’s what guests have said about their experiences on other Radiance Retreats:

“I highly recommend Radiance Retreats. I’ve been to 4 now in 4 different countries and they have all been amazing experiences and so well organised. The yoga classes cater to all different levels of experience and everyone is so well looked after.”
Lina, Yoga Retreats in France

“The joy began at the sight of our Tuscan Villa, which proved to be ‘home’ for a week of well-balanced strengthening, restoring, rejuvenating yoga and meditation. We enjoyed wonderful walks through the countryside and optional outings. The vegetarian food, facilities, and staff were outstanding, and Jessie’s guidance and nurturing instruction led us all through a wonderfully memorable time. I now have a new strength of heart, body, and mind. Thank you so much.”
Jenny, Previous Tuscany Yoga & Walking Retreat in Lucca

“Having just spent a fantastic week in Spain, I am delighted to recommend Yoga Retreats in Europe for anyone who wants an active and stimulating holiday. I feel both rested and reinvigorated, and ready to explore the world further. The hiking and scenery is incredible, and the intensity of the daily yoga helped me make some real gains, even as a beginner.”
