Côte d’Arbroz, French Alps – Just 12 minutes from Morzine
Escape to a tranquil pocket of the French Alps for a soulful and immersive art retreat designed for both experienced artists and curious beginners. Nestled in a quiet corner of Côte d’Arbroz, our beautifully restored alpine farmhouse offers the perfect setting to reconnect with nature, recharge your creative energy, and explore new artistic techniques in an intimate and supportive atmosphere.
Over the course of two gently-paced days, you'll be guided through watercolour plein air painting sessions, expressive printmaking workshops, and inspired sketch walks through hidden alpine meadows, forest trails, and charming mountain viewpoints that only locals know. Whether you're capturing shifting mountain light on canvas or carving into a fresh lino block, every moment invites deeper connection with the landscape and your own artistic voice.
Between sessions, unwind on the deck, share nourishing meals made with seasonal ingredients, and let the silence of the alps work its quiet magic.
