Four days away
Four days away from your business. So you finally have time to think about it.
What it is
Spiazzi di Gromo, the Orobie. Mountains, rifugios, local food, brisk walks and enough distance to look at the bigger picture again. With substantive sessions when they are needed. And aperitivo when needed. After all, we're not monsters either.
Because hardly anyone drives here. No resort, no conference hotel, a base in the Alta Val Seriana where you unpack once and the valleys come to you. Wifi is available, we're just going to try to keep you away from it once in a while.
The rhythm
01
Arrival in Spiazzi, a short walk to the ridge, and in the evening the context and the first question on the table.
02
A full day on the trail, lunch in a rifugio, and a first model in bricks in the evening.
03
A quiet stretch and a check-in with a partner. What do we leave behind, and what do we choose?
04
A second high walk, or a slow day: village, water, reading, and a one-to-one walk.
05
Breakfast, a morning walk, the action plan on paper, and a long lunch with the people of the valley.
Who it's for
Three to five days away from the meeting room, with one question and one harvest a day.
A small group of entrepreneurs from different sectors, each with one question worth days of walking.
What you take home
Practical
Prijzen
Every price on this site is a base price: the simplest version of that format. What gets added on top is not small print, but this:
You get a concrete amount before you sign anything. No surprises afterwards, no quote that takes three weeks.
Honest about the hurdles
You don't have to be. No climbing experience is needed and the pace adapts to the group, not the other way round. The slowest day sets the rhythm.
Then there's something worth five days of thinking. And if three days is more honest for your calendar, we choose three.
For an existing team that works. Smaller isn't less; the pace gets more intimate and the conversation reaches the core faster.
Local commitment
The Alta Val Seriana is not resort country. We work only with people who live here, and with initiatives that create work for those who struggle to find it.
Every bed, meal, and guide comes from someone who lives in the Val Seriana, and you book directly with them. No tour operator in between, no commission chain, not even through us.
What a retreat costs here pays for a rifugio's roof, a trattoria's kitchen and a guide's winter. That's the difference between visiting a region and keeping it alive.
We work with initiatives that create jobs for people with few options here: trail maintenance, catering, transport and retreat logistics.
Our retreats fall in spring and autumn, exactly when the valley is quietest. Work in the months that would otherwise be empty.
Thirty minutes is enough to know whether this works. We discuss the question, the group and the right length.
