Practice run to the French Alps DONE!
Last weekend the whole KFP team travelled to Morzine, France in order to conduct a practice run ahead of our fitness retreat in May 2018. The day started with an early and easy, hand luggage only flight to Switzerland. Followed by a short drive across the border to France, from the border the transfer takes us on a 1hr 10min journey up the mountain. There are two things you need to know about the ascent, the views are absolutely breathtaking and if your not fond of heights, be sure to sit on the drivers side of the vehicle.
The road along the mountain is plagued with hair pin turns, a fact confident locals seem to be unaware of. The last turn opens out overlooking the resort of Morzine, the only thing I can liken it too is a Christmas Card. Snow capped mountain tops loom over tall lush green trees which surround the glowing wooden cabins separated by winding winter paths. The air reaches the furthest depths of your lungs. The feeling is so dramatic we felt revitalised from the first breath. What could possibly make this experience better? Our fabulously warm hostess Emma, gifted with culinary skills and accommodation with a familiar homely feeling are great places to start.
The purpose of our visit was to help the training team visualise the upcoming weekend and how best we can utilised this outstanding environment. We walked through parts of the forest beside rivers, while discussing the endless possibilities for next year. Topics ranged from morning meditation by the river, running/walking routes, equipment available on site, clean eating recipes to my personal favourite, those who live on the mountain, drink on the mountain.
Its been few days since the our visit to morzine and I can tell you in no uncertain terms the whole KFP team are buzzing with excitement for the Spring retreat next year. We will now commence the planning of the weekends activities in detail. Those of you already booked on the trip you have an amazing experience ahead of you. Those of you that want to come but have talked your self out of it with excuses of funds or commitments I must say this….. this is one weekend out of your year that your mind, body, spirit and family will thank you for! You want this, need it and above all deserve it.
We do only have one space left in our chalet but our generous host has potentially offered us a second chalet (to be confirmed) but we would need 12 participants to fill it. For more information on how to join us on our Kellys Fitness Practice Retreat follow this link
