I had 2 night yoga retreat with Ruta. It felt like it was a week long. Amazing food, good hikes, extraordinary sauna experience. I want to recommend to everyone! I’m definitely doing it again next time she will organise this sauna experience! Ruta is very inspiring person. She carefully selects locations and people she work with. It was my 4 retreat and I haven’t been disappointed ever. I just keep coming back!

I recently enjoyed a truly magical time in Swiss Alps with Ruta. Everything was well organised, food by Chef Donata was just perfection the retreat place was well chosen! Thank you Ruta for a wonderful experience looking forward to seeing you in one of your next experiences!

Wow! I’ve just returned from my second retreat with Ruta in Switzerland, and what an experience! It was my first time snowshoeing, and the trip exceeded my expectations! Not only did Ruta create the most magical, fairy tale-esque retreat itinerary—with cosy yoga, delicious food, and warm, authentic 400-year-old cabins all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the snowy mountains—but she also led us with such skill, warmth, and encouragement that I achieved things I never thought possible.

Ruta’s communication was exceptional, making us feel relaxed and well-informed. She laid out the day’s activities the night before, again in the morning, and even shared updates on WhatsApp so we were always in the loop. Managing a group of ten ladies—some more experienced than others—is no easy task, but she handled it seamlessly, ensuring our safety while giving us options to challenge ourselves at our own pace.

What truly made this retreat special was Ruta’s leadership. She guided us through charming, authentic villages where time seemed to slow down, allowing us to soak in the local culture. She took us to the most incredible viewpoints, each more stunning than the last, and a few times, I found myself stepping outside of my comfort zone. Whether it was navigating a steep ascent or pushing through when my energy dipped, Ruta was always there, supporting me, encouraging me, and making sure I felt safe. With her guidance, I achieved things I never thought I was capable of, and the sense of accomplishment was indescribable.

Beyond the adventure itself, the bond within our group was something truly special. There was an unspoken connection between us—a shared sense of excitement, challenge, and joy. We laughed, supported each other, and formed friendships that I know will last far beyond the mountains.

If you have any doubts about booking—just do it. You won’t regret it! I’m already booked on a trek in August, and I cannot wait to be back in the mountains with Ruta and her incredible team. Thank you so much for taking me to places beyond my wildest dreams!

I recently joined Ruta’s autumn retreat, and it was an unforgettable experience!

First of all it’s not just about trekking—Ruta incorporates a variety of activities that help you slow down and truly reconnect with nature, the forest bathing session was one of my favourite. Her warm, outgoing, and easygoing nature makes it easy to connect with her, and she genuinely takes time to get to know everyone in the group.

I thought I knew Switzerland....but Ruta showed us forests, valleys, and glaciers that I didn’t even know existed! Every sight were simply magical, and each place we visited felt like a hidden gem.

And not to mention THE FOOD! Donata’s cooking was phenomenal—every meal was delicious, nourishing, and left you feeling so well cared for.

Being outdoors, surrounded by like-minded women who share a love for travel, was so refreshing. I left feeling re-energized and proud that I took this time to prioritize my well-being, I can HIGHLY recommend this retreat for anyone looking to recharge in a beautiful setting and looking to discover an off-the-beaten path destination in Switzerland.

THANK YOU RUTA, please keep doing what you are doing!

I just had the most amazing time on a 5 day Trek through the Swiss Alps with Ruta. From the very first day I knew we were in good hands; she is knowledgeable, caring and extremely attentive to all.
She challenges us while still keeping safety at the forefront but the way she connects to everyone individually allows her to intuitively make decisions based on individual and group needs.
Ruta is an outstanding guide with such passion for what she does. It was an absolute pleasure to participate in her holistic “ Wil & Free” mountain experience. I appreciated very much the time and thought that went into planning such an incredible experience for all of us. I would find it very hard for anyone to leave without experiencing something truly unique and wholesome; for me, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I will hold these memories and images close to my heart for a very long time.
I would highly recommend Ruta and her Be Outside Adventures. Thank you again Ruta for an amazing time!

I had the pleasure of joining Be Outside Coaching 5 day trek “Wild and Free” in Switzerland. This was my 1st venture with Ruta and 2nd multi-day hike experience.

Ruta led our group intuitively by noticing when we needed a break or a moment to pause and connect with nature (the days were not about getting to the huts as quickly as possible).

Ruta always considered our needs/limitations and safety top of mind! I appreciated Ruta guiding me when there were more challenging areas of the mountain (as I have a bit of vertigo). Thankfully the heights and terrain became more familiar throughout the days 🙂

Ruta cultivated an environment of trust and openness where I felt safe to express myself and be truly authentic; inviting nature to be my guide and allow the support of the group to carry me through the 5 day trek!

I came home feeling blessed and honored to be part of this specially connected group of 8 women, wild and free and trusting in the pureness of humanity. As a collective we have the power to be supportive, humble and kind; the ability to take on whatever life has to offer .. to move mountains!

I’ve already signed up for next year “Wild and Free”! Don’t think about booking .. Just do it!

I recently enjoyed a truly wonderful Winter retreat that exceeded all expectations. ❄️

Our days were filled with lots of outdoor activities, including hikes, snowshoeing adventures and serene forest bathing. The evenings offered a perfect relaxation and rejuvenation, thanks to the sauna and hot tub.

Adding to the holistic experience there were yoga sessions led by the experienced and insightful teacher, Chris.

The overall atmosphere of the retreat was very positive and deeply relaxing with a great attention to detail.

We were treated with healthy and delicious food.

Natural beauty of the surroundings was simply breathtaking making it a truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you Ruta for this magical time. ✨

It was an amazing experience which I had in Thrive Like A Nature camp, leaded by Rūta!
And I did - I thrived like a nature while being there among mountains, rivers and blooming flowers! Before this - I had no experience of hiking in the mountains and now I cant think of anything that could be more relaxing than this! We had hikes, swimming in the mountain lake, forest bathing, yoga twice per day and hot tube in the evening!
Rūta is a great leader: responsible, thoughtful and organised so I felt like I can be without any worries at all!
By the way - food was amazing, so it has been vacation time for my stomach as well because the food was totally vegetarian, colourful and made with passion by the chef Donata, who is a great expert in this field!
I recommend Rūta and her team by all my heart!
This is a true gift for yourself to be with the amazing Swiss nature in this way! ❤️
