Prayer and mountain

On the Alpine summits at the heart of Switzerland, come experience a time of renewal and hiking!

• Each day, hikes of 5 to 6 hours in mid-mountain terrain with 500 to 800 m of elevation gain will be offered, including approaches to great high-altitude glaciers, ridges, and breathtaking summits... adapted to the level and number of participants.
• At the heart of our week, there will be times of personal and communal prayer to "seek and find God", times of solitude in the silence of the mountains to find renewal and listen to God, and times of praise before the beauty of panoramas with countless snow-capped peaks.
• Experience a true fraternal life that does you good! A week with a community dynamic in practical, concrete daily life where everyone pitches in, helping one another on the hikes and in spontaneous prayer.
• Throughout the week, our base camp will be the Monastère de Béthanien, set in an exceptional location facing Lake Sarnen.

Each day:

• mountain hiking,
• personal and communal prayer,
• time of praise,
• time of sharing in groups,
• Eucharist celebrated in the heart of the mountains, etc.

Remember to bring the right gear for mountain hiking. Hiking boots, trekking poles, sunglasses, a fleece, a backpack, and water bottles will be essential... "The habit doesn't make the monk" - but it can certainly help!
