AI & Entrepreneurship Winter Workation
14th–21st December 2025 • Relais de Dranse, Liddes, Switzerland
A light, co-creative winter workation for digital nomads, startup founders, AI builders and curious friends seeking connection, focus and alpine adventure.
What This Week Is About
One week in the Swiss Alps to work, focus, connect, ski and exchange knowledge — without pressure, without rigid schedules, and without hidden costs.
This isn't a traditional retreat. There are no professional instructors, no paid yoga sessions, no mandatory workshops. Instead, it's a gathering of intelligent, curious souls staying together at the beautiful Relais de Dranse, co-creating their own rhythm and flow.
This week is community-driven, self-organised, and beautifully light.
Perfect If You Want To:
  • Work on your own projects with deep focus
  • Learn from fellow entrepreneurs and builders
  • Join spontaneous mastermind circles
  • Propose your own unconference topics
  • Ski magnificent alpine slopes
  • Relax by the fire with like-minded people
