Colorado yoga and hiking retreat including daily classes, alpine hikes, Via Ferrata, and hot springs.
Join us for a hiking, adventure, and yoga retreat in the stunning mountain landscapes just outside Breckenridge, Colorado. Our retreat home is located in the remarkable high-altitude town of Alma, the highest incorporated town in North America at 10,578 feet. From September 11–15, 2026, spend five transformative days deepening your yoga practice, forging meaningful connections, and challenging yourself in some of the most spectacular terrain in the Rocky Mountains. In early September, golden aspen leaves may just be beginning to turn, while the last of summer’s wildflowers linger on the hillside, making this one of the most magical times of year to explore the Colorado Rockies.
Why Go on a Colorado Hiking and Yoga Retreat Near Breckenridge?

Located in Park County at 10,578 feet, Alma holds the distinction of being the highest incorporated town in North America, making it one of the most unique and unforgettable settings for a yoga and hiking retreat anywhere in the country.
Surrounded by towering peaks rising above 14,000 feet — including several of Colorado’s beloved “fourteeners” — the area offers dramatic alpine scenery, crisp mountain air, and a sense of wildness that is increasingly hard to find. On this yoga and hiking retreat near Breckenridge, we’ll explore breathtaking trails and creekside hot springs, all while building community, deepening our practice, and nourishing body and soul.
Where You’ll Stay on Our Colorado Hiking and Yoga Retreat: A Mountain Sanctuary in the Heart of the Rockies
Your home base for this Colorado yoga retreat is a stunning private property nestled on 8 acres just 17 miles from Breckenridge, right in the heart of Alma, Colorado. Situated just over Hoosier Pass with a peaceful river winding through the property and panoramic Rocky Mountain views in every direction, this retreat house is the perfect setting to rest, restore, and reconnect with yourself and nature.
A hiker’s paradise, the property sits steps from world-class trails like the iconic Decalibron loop, Hoosier Pass, and Quandary Peak. Mornings may bring moose and deer grazing in the yard; evenings invite you to soak tired muscles in the hot tub while alpenglow fades over the peaks.
Inside, the spacious house offers plenty of gathering space, a fireplace, and large windows for the views! With open land to explore, fresh mountain air to breathe, and the Rockies all around, this space has everything we need for a truly transformative experience.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Carrie and Zach and their Bigger Life Adventures! I wanted something different, challenging, out of my comfort zone, and adventurous for my 41st birthday, so I headed to Colorado for their yoga and hiking retreat. An 8-hour hike to the absolutely beautiful lake, a 3-hour rock climbing adventure through a canyon (one of the toughest things I’ve ever done, and I ain’t even break a nail 😌), a trip to the hot springs, with yoga and delicious organic and plant-based food. I challenged myself and I did it! This is my second retreat with them this year and I will absolutely be ‘retreating’ with them again! Come with me next year!”

“Hiking is a bit like life: “The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other…again and again and again. And if you allow yourself opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, you will witness beauty every step of the way, not just at the summit.”
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. Bigger Life Adventures has taught me how to come back to the present moment, and just be. To be okay with taking breaks and slowing down in life. Silent mornings with coffee and reading/writing. Mornings with beautiful mantras and energizing yoga one breath at a time. Then amazing hikes and adventures with the same like-minded people. I’m thankful for those people who are here on this journey with me, especially my sister. Come as you are.”

“Today in sharing circle we each gave our takeaway message than we each gave two words to describe everyone else. I was blown away by their words for me: calm, grounded, brave, confident, a growing flower, learner, courageous, youthful, inspiring. I always wonder how others feel about me. These kind words that were heartfully spoken spoke volumes to me. In such a short time, these wonderful people really got know me, and better yet, the real me was expressed to them. I was me the whole time – and that’s a good thing.”
-Rhonda, 2022
“Another incredibly grounding and healing retreat in nature with Bigger Life Adventures! Cheers to Carrie and Zach for your endless commitment! You’re so very good at what you do! Cheers to our strong and beautiful new friends in AZ, LA, UT, and FL! You’re all amazing!”
-Laura, 2023
“Carrie, Zach and Astrid were amazing hosts. The yoga was great and Carrie taught me a lot. The hikes were challenging and I learned how strong I am. I highly recommend Bigger Life Adventures!”
-Jodie, 2023
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Carrie and Zach and their Bigger Life Adventures! I wanted something different, challenging, out of my comfort zone, and adventurous for my 41st birthday, so I headed to Silverton, Colorado for their yoga and hiking retreat. An 8-hour hike to the absolutely beautiful Ice Lake Basin, a 3-hour rock climbing adventure through a canyon (one of the toughest things I’ve ever done, and I ain’t even break a nail 😌), a trip to the hot springs, with yoga and delicious organic and plant-based food. I challenged myself and I did it! This is my second retreat with them this year and I will absolutely be “retreating” with them in 2024! Come with me next year!”

Alma is located about 2 hours west of Denver in the Rocky Mountains. Plan to fly into Denver International Airport (DEN) — it’s your best option for flight availability and cost.
Rent a Car All major rental agencies are available at DEN. From the airport, take I-70 West to CO-9 South — Alma is about 1 hour 45 minutes from DEN under normal conditions. This is the most flexible option if you’d like to explore the area.
Take a Shuttle or Carpool:
Several companies run shared and private shuttles from DEN into the Breckenridge/Summit County area, with Alma just 10 miles further south on CO-9.
Flight Booking Assistance — $50 Flat Fee
I offer flight booking for retreat guests and friends who’d rather skip the search.
Send me your travel dates and preferred airports and I’ll find and book the best options for you. I’ll confirm all details with you before anything is finalized, either over a quick Zoom or via message, whichever works best.
The fee is $50, paid to me directly. You pay the actual cost of the flight separately. In return, you get a curated search, zero hassle, and someone who knows how to find a good deal.
If that sounds like a good deal, reach out and we’ll get you booked.
