The retreat

Golden autumn in a 770-year-old house

Hotel Chasa Chalavaina stands at the entrance to the village of Müstair, directly opposite the Monastery of St. John (UNESCO World Heritage), in the middle of the Biosfera Val Müstair nature park. The 770-year-old house was named “Historic Hotel of the Year 2024”.

The silence and strength of the mountains meet flowing yoga classes, sauna sessions and invigorating cold plunges. Nives guides you step by step – with an introduction, breathwork and a dip in a clear mountain lake or river.

The food comes from the valley: grains, bread, honey, butter and cheese from the region, served in the historic black kitchen. For dinner, chef Oliver Thaler cooks with what grows in the meadows and forests just outside the door.
