Time for coziness: A winter cabin holiday
Maybe you know the feeling: In summer, you’re bursting with energy – and then, as soon as the leaves start to turn and the first pumpkins appear in the supermarket, a longing for calm, warmth, and coziness begins to spread. Winter invites us to turn inward and take care of ourselves. Those who embrace this season consciously can use it to regain balance, recharge, and realign their own rhythm – and perhaps even plan a little winter getaway.
The simplest yet most effective strategy for getting through the winter is to make things nice – and above all, cozy. Instead of focusing only on the cold and darkness, or wasting energy on things we cannot change, we can fill winter with moments that warm us inside and out. Small daily rituals work wonders: a soft blanket that hugs you like an embrace, good company, and a warm drink in hand. Winter really does have its bright sides(!): Finally, there’s time to rewatch all the Harry Potter films or tackle that hefty book that’s been gathering dust on your bedside table since the start of the year.
Restorative Escapes into Nature
Sometimes, these little escapes aren’t enough – and that’s when it’s time for a proper getaway. Perhaps a short winter cabin holiday, far from everyday life, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. By a crackling stove where you can warm your feet after a long walk across frosty meadows. Snuggled up in front of a panoramic window overlooking a snowy landscape, with your loved ones or just yourself and the silence.
Spending time alone mindfully creates space for reflection and self-observation: organizing thoughts, making plans, or simply being. Your well-worn sweatpants and grandma’s knitted socks get their stage, without a care for appearances.
A winter cabin holiday doesn’t necessarily mean standing still. It’s about moving at your own pace. It also opens up space to experience nature differently, enjoy movement, and embrace childlike joy: sledding down gentle hills, hearing the crunch of snow beneath your boots, having snowball fights, or observing bird tracks in fresh snow. Many of our cabins are also close to ski and winter sports areas – perfect for speeding down slopes and carving turns in pristine powder. Suddenly, you feel a deep connection to nature again, no matter how cold it is – and honestly, it’s pure fun!
Rituals for Body and Soul
Afterward: hot cocoa, candlelight, music, audiobooks, or a journal to let your thoughts, ideas, and feelings flow. You can also meditate or do simple yoga exercises (mats are available on site!) – both help cultivate inner calm and balance. Mindfully noticing scents, sounds, and textures, the smell of cinnamon and pine, the crackling fire, the whistling kettle, creates an atmosphere that soothes and invigorates body and mind. Or simply do nothing. The beauty of it: no one judges, and unproductivity is encouraged!
Experiencing Winter Mindfully
Winter is also the perfect time to rethink routines. Fewer appointments, mindful slow walking, small breaks, and digital detoxes create room for presence. Experiencing winter consciously helps find the balance between activity and rest, and fosters a renewed appreciation for life’s small pleasures: the flicker of a candle, snow falling softly, or laughter with friends and family.
In the end, winter is more than just a season – it’s an invitation to ourselves: to slow down, savor stillness, recharge, and step into spring with clarity. Those who give themselves over to these moments realize that the warmest memories of a winter cabin holiday are often made when snow falls outside and everything inside is perfectly still.
