What will you get?
During our time together, we will get to:
Get clear on what your ideas & goals are (even if you don’t know what they are yet!)
Identify what is holding you back from achieving your goals through the exercises and tools we will teach you
Learn how to manage your thoughts, your emotions and your time so that you can make progress without feeling overwhelmed
Create your own action plan and confidently take your first steps
You will get direct access to a network of experts active in the fields of business coaching, community-building and remote working.
Most importantly, you will experience first hand the power of coliving that brings people together under one roof. We know that the best conversations and ideas almost always happen around the dinner table or during breaks.
One one-of-a-kind meetup of Business owners & Digital Nomads.
Who is it for?
Whether you define yourself as an entrepreneur or self-employed, you are welcome to join!
This retreat is a place where we explore together our current challenges as a business owner. Whether you are working your ass off but not seeing results or have established a successful business that doesn't align with your vision anymore, you are in the right place.
We teach burnout entrepreneurs how to create systems so that they can take time off without feeling guilty. And we help bored out entrepreneurs to reconnect with their mission & create a job they love so that they wake up excited to get to work.
Any change or transformation we experience in our business is a challenge - but less so when we’re surrounded by a community of like-minded people.
Swiss Escape is a successful coliving and coworking space in the lovely village of Grimentz in Valais. Over the years, it has hosted hundreds of entrepreneurs, freelancers & remote workers from all over the world who are looking for a community and beautiful location. It is the perfect place to hold this intimate event: secluded in nature and yet easy to get to. Digital Nomad Switzerland has been an inspiration for the Swiss Escape team for a long time and we think that together we are a great team to inspire you. You’ll have the option of staying in a double room, private room or a shared room depending on our availability and your budget.
Where will you stay?
Build deeper connections with business owners, freelancers and industry partners. We limit the group to 10 participants.
Connections
Morning and afternoon sessions on growing your business & using the community to do so.
Work Session
Three nights accommodation in double, private or shared room at Swiss Escape coliving and coworking.
Accommodation
We will bring you on a walking tour around the charming village of Grimentz and a hike to the Moiry dam.
Excursions
We want to create an inspiring and relaxing week for everyone. We won't have intensive days where you are expected to work day- and-night and be exhausted by the end of it. Instead, it will be a time where you can truly connect with others, have meaningful one-on-one conversations and connections, and get inspired by the group.
We will have dedicated sessions led by experts, and outside of these you will be able to decide how you spend your time, just like in a coliving. You are welcome to spend time on your own work, walking in the forest, networking with others, or masterminding about your current business challenges. Anything you want!

The Agenda
You can send us an email at hello@ourescape.co and ask us anything. We will be more than happy to help you out!
Unfortunately not. Your booking is final.
Absolutely! No matter where you are at in your journey we will address a lot of topics that are essentials to freelancers, entrepreneurs and anyone taking on a new project and a more self-led career path.
Of course you can! If you’d like to come earlier or stay longer, you can contact us directly at hello@swissescape.co. We'll be managing your booking.
Not at all. We’ve been there with kids :) We will be taking the bus to the Moiry dam and walking along the lake, so you can expect a leisurely hike - almost flat along the lake. There is a 5 minutes hike up and the beginning and the end of our walk.
However, if you don't want to join us for the hike, you are welcome to skip it.
Yes they are! We will give you a pass that gives free access to the Moiry dam and different activities in the region.
A pen and your notebook or journal if you use one.
Casual clothes, no need for anything formal :)
Because we will be hiking, we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes and adapted clothing, including a cap, sunglasses & sunscreen or rain jacket (depending on the weather), and a backpack where you can fit a picnic.
Your own toiletries (including shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste)
Yes, food is not included. Breakfasts will be taken at home or at the local bakery. Saturday lunch will be a picnic that you can buy from Coop (our local supermarket). Dinners will be taken at local restaurants. You pay for what you eat.
Swiss Escape is easily reachable by public transportation from Geneva, Zurich and Milan airports in less than 3 hours.
By plane: The closest airport is Geneva. Then it is about 2 hours by car, or 2.5 hours by public transportation.
By train and bus: We advise you to take a train from the airport until Sierre. Trains to Sierre run every half an hour from Geneva and Zurich airports. From Sierre, take a bus until Grimentz télécabine. Timetable for the train and bus can be found here.
