We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the Earth.
The Tour du Mont Blanc, one of Europe’s most beautiful hiking circuits, winds through the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps, presenting an ideal setting for a silent meditation retreat. Designed for physically fit individuals eager for a serene yet challenging journey, allowing participants to cultivate mindfulness and compassion in the heart of nature.
Activities
Led by the monastics of Plum Village and an experienced team of hikers is a unique 11-day experience. It combines the serene practice of mindful walking with the breathtaking alpine landscapes of France, Italy, and Switzerland. Guided each day with intentions and meditations, participants will walk in silence, allowing for deep reflection and connection with nature. All logistical details—from baggage transfers to bus arrangements—are managed for you, ensuring that you can focus entirely on your practice and the spectacular beauty around you.
The Paths of Happiness Journey at the Tour Du Mont Blanc will cover 105 kilometers of walking and a few days of rest in between. It is important to note this detail as it will not be the full 165-kilometer walk but the loop will be a balance of walking, resting, and bus rides to accommodate both experiencing the TMB region, long hikes, and restful meditation.
