There’s a unique stillness to winter in the Highlands of Scotland - the land quiets, the skies widen and time stretches. The Highland Wintering Retreat invites you to step out of the everyday and into this transformative season. Here, you’ll find the space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect - with yourself, with nature and with what truly matters.
Imagine mornings spent hiking snow-dusted mountains, afternoons plunging into crystal-clear lochs or rushing waterfalls and evenings wrapped in warmth and reflection. Each day is designed to awaken your body, calm your mind, and expand your perspective. Guided breath work and mindset coaching help you gain clarity, release what no longer serves you, and step forward with purpose.
Set within twenty acres of superb Scottish Highland scenery, this former shooting lodge makes an idyllic retreat base.. Close to Glenshee on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park; Cray House really does have it all. Just 90 minutes from Edinburgh, you can enjoy panoramic views of rolling hills, a private lake, forested glens, and a nearby river - the perfect backdrop for reflection and adventure.
After a day of hiking, unwind in the sauna, hot tub, or by the open fire. Accommodation includes double, twin, and bunk rooms, with single-occupancy options for extra privacy. Solo travelers are matched with like-minded guests, creating a sense of community and connection.
Our in-house chef prepares all meals — nourishing breakfasts, hearty dinners, healthy lunches, snacks, and unlimited tea and coffee. Cray House isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a space to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with yourself, nature, and others in the calm beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
This retreat blends exploration and calm in the wild Scottish Highlands. Over the week, you’ll reconnect with yourself, reset your mind, and experience the perfect balance of activity and relaxation:
- Morning breathwork to start each day with clarity
- Guided winter hikes through remote mountains, forests, and glens
- Wild swimming and cold dips in lochs and waterfalls
- Mindset coaching and reflection to boost focus and resilience
- Relaxation in the sauna, hot tub, or by the fire
- Nourishing meals prepared by our in-house chef
By the end, you’ll feel restored, grounded, and inspired - with new tools, memories and connections to carry home.
Highland Wintering is more than a retreat - it’s a journey. A journey where winter is not endured, but celebrated. Where adventure meets care, and personal growth is nurtured in every experience. Spaces are limited — secure your place today and give yourself the gift of a true Highland winter: bold, restorative, and unforgettable.

Morzine is an alpine resort in the French Alps, close to the Swiss border. Only 90 minutes from Geneva airport (yes, airport transfers are included!), in the summer it's haven for adventurers. It's a bustling and fun place to be and has also retained all its typical Savoyard character, making it the perfect location for this retreat. Ideally located in the heart of the Portes du Soleil area, Morzine offers a wonderful playground for outdoor lovers all-year around!
For this retreat, I've carefully designed a schedule that combines many of things that I believe are integral to our physical and mental wellbeing. Think refreshing waterfalls and crystal-clear cold lakes for dips and wild swimming, stunning hiking trails in the mountains of the Alps for adventure and perspective, relaxing breath work and powerful performance psychology coaching for reflection and self-development. It’s going to be a real adventure!
Nestled on the edge of Morzine in the French Alps, La Ferme du Lac Vert is a beautifully restored 19th-century Savoyard farmhouse, transformed into a luxurious summer retreat. Blending traditional alpine charm with modern elegance, it offers a serene base for exploring the mountains, lakes, and trails of the Haute-Savoie region.
Relax in the spacious open-plan living areas, unwind in the outdoor hot tub or barrel sauna, and soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and lush valleys.
Either come with your partner, friends or if you're travelling solo, we’ll match you with other like-minded guests. If you’d like more privacy, we have a very limited number of single-occupancy rooms available to book - equipped with a double-bed and en-suite bathroom.
As part of the retreat we will be blessed with our very own in house chef! They will take full control of the kitchen so you won't need to prepare, wash, wipe or clean for the whole week. All meals are provided as part of your retreat as well as, unlimited tea, coffee, fruit, snacks and water too.
