Today in Flaine was epic 🤙

Yesterday afternoon, the wind shifted to the northwest, transforming rain into snow and delivering the goods.

A day so good, we barely stopped for action shots, except this one. We managed 8 runs through untracked, deep, and dry powder: weaving through forests, navigating cliffs and some lapiaz holes and first-tracking an incredible couloir.

I dare say this was my best freeride day ever in Flaine, line after line, shredding with my buddy . And the best news is; there is even more snow on the way. 👍

Getting the legs ready for winter, with a nice run at Gers. Not the best snow after recent warmer temps, but always good to be out and enjoying these Mont Blanc views. Lets see what next days will bring …

Black Friday? I rather went for a white one again …

Let’s collect moments instead of things. Craft memories, share experiences, and spend quality time with loved ones. It’s the moments that matter, not stuff.

The Final Mountain Bathing Journey of the Year ❄️

Last weekend, five entrepreneurs and I ventured into the mountains where autumn meets winter.

With phones on airplane mode and snow crunching underfoot, we climbed through forests, over cols, and past frozen lakes. Conversations flowed, distractions disappeared, and we immersed ourselves in the beauty of the moment.

Nights in a mountain cabin—cheese fondue, laughter, and heartwarming company—made it even more special.

Mountain Bathing is more than a hike; it’s a chance to unplug, reconnect, and reflect. It’s about stepping back from the chaos of daily life and rediscovering what truly matters.

Who’s ready to join the next journey?

14/11/2024

Next week, from Friday the 22nd till Monday the 25th, we will headoff for the last Mountain Bathing journey of this year.

A unique, four-day adventure designed for entrepreneurs, leaders and change makers looking to unplug and reconnect.

We’ll combine (snowy) mountain hikes with moments of reflection and interesting chats providing a fresh perspective on leadership and personal growth.

We’ve got a place left for you in this stunning cabin!
So if you’re interested in recharging your mindset in an inspiring natural setting, join us for this unforgettable journey.

The mountains are calling;
what do you answer?

Autumn in the French Alps, or more precisely in Le Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval at the far end of La Vallée du Giffre, also known as Dream Valley.

Last week, I had the pleasure of guiding this group of skillful leaders to the Refuge de Chavan for an inspiring 24-hour Mountain Bathing adventure.

Off the beaten track, we embraced the silence, shared meaningful conversations, disconnected from our phones, and reconnected with nature, each other, and ourselves.

Another magical Mountain Bathing experience and a perfect opportunity to (learn to) pause, focus, and breathe.

The cliffhanger…

Would you dare to sleep here?

When we arrived at basecamp, one of us was looking for a hammock in the trees, while another expected the tipi to be set up again. But then we noticed some ropes hanging down the cliff…

After a delicious fondue, expertly organized by our friends from , we harnessed up and got ready for bed.

Steve said, “I’ve never dreaded going to bed this much before.” But he, along with the rest of us, went for it. The beginning was a bit nerve-wracking and definitely out of our comfort zones. But I have to say, my sleep was surprisingly decent.

The next morning, we woke up to the first light setting Mont Blanc on fire, followed by a lovely breakfast.

A big thanks to .ski and for 2 exciting and well organised and secured days 🙏

After a pretty zen and mindful day yesterday, day 3 was a completely different experience. We left our warm and cozy mountain hut, began with a breathing session led by .en.balans, and then met up with our guides, Philippe and Jon.

These two mountain goats were in charge of leading us through their backyard for the rest of the day. We kicked things off with a via cordata, zipped across a river, and scrambled up a steep chamois trail that followed a ridgeline with stunning views of Mont Blanc.

The whole group was buzzing with excitement about the climb and eager to see what our next camp would look like. And what we encountered blew all our minds (mine included)!

At a clearing in the forest, right on the edge of a cliff, Jon had set up our next camp. The fire was already crackling, the aperitif was laid out on a handcrafted table, and everything seemed perfect, except for one thing ….

We couldn’t spot our beds ?! 🤔

On day 2 of our Bucket Project, we set out from our tipi basecamp and made our way to a manned mountain refuge.

The weather had improved, offering breathtaking views, and along the way, we encountered more mountain goats than people. We took our time, enjoying the relaxed pace, engaging in great conversations, and carving out moments for individual reflection.

With no idea where we’d be staying that night, the Bucket team was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at a cozy mountain hut, where a warm fire, a cold beer, and a delicious dinner were waiting for us.

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

Wow, this years Bucket Project has been a blast again! Let me try to capture our adventure in words and images, starting with the first 24 hours of our journey:

We set off on Thursday, geared up with our heavy backpacks and excitement for the journey ahead. After an adventurous hike through mist and rain, we arrived at a secluded mountain plateau at 1800 meters. Apart from a few ibex, there wasn’t a soul in sight, and the thick fog left us completely unaware of our surroundings—not to mention the elusive view of Mont Blanc.

Thankfully, a friendly sherpa had dropped off the tipi tent where we’d spend the night, and to my delight, we all fit inside comfortably! After a tasty lasagna we were all ready for a sleep, a bit confused (or overwhelmed?) by what this first day and evening had brought us …

The next morning looked much better already; clear skies, giving us the chance to soak in the stunning view. The breakfast, a hot cup of coffee and a mindful sunrise session got us ready for the next episode of our adventure …

Yesterday, when I went back up to pick up some things at one of our mountain cabins, I took a moment to reflect. The sun was out, and the weather was completely different from the last three days when we were out.

I realized what a great journey it has been once again. Thank you, Kim and Theo from and , for bringing together a group of motivated, resilient, and positive people to the mountains. Over these four days, we faced the elements, walking through rain and snow, and enjoyed a cozy fire even more when we arrived wet and cold at our mountain cabin.

We learned about the seven pillars Blauwprint based this journey on, and we had powerful reflections and great conversations. We shared laughter and tears, we talked and embraced the silence, and above all, we reconnected with nature, with each other, and with ourselves.

The mountains were calling, and you guys chose to go. And that was the best thing you could do!
Thanks for coming and for your trust in my cooking, hosting, guiding, and coaching skills 🙏
