Digital Detox Weekend for Young Adults

Bern

Wochenende in den Bergen - digitales Detox für junge Erwachsene

Scroll less, experience more

From August 27 to 29, 2027, you will spend three days offline in the Swiss Alps. The camp is for teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 25 and will be conducted in English.

We will be staying in a traditional chalet without electricity or Wi-Fi in the Gastlosen mountains. Instead of push notifications, you'll get mountain views, evenings by the fire, and real conversations.

Focus instead of constant distraction

Morning yoga and breathing exercises, afternoon hikes, and cooking together in the evening will help you unwind. The workshops focus on social media, concentration, and "Deep Work": you will learn how to use your phone intentionally rather than letting it control you.

Included

  • 2 nights' accommodation
  • 3 nutritious meals per day
  • Water, tea, and coffee throughout the day
  • Daily yoga, pranayama, or meditation sessions
  • Workshops on digital wellbeing
  • Guided nature hikes
  • Support before and after the camp
  • Parking

What to bring

  • Sleeping bag
  • Warm clothing for the night and summer clothes for the day
  • Comfortable clothing for yoga and meditation
  • Your own yoga mat (optional)
  • Hiking clothes and footwear
  • Sun protection, a large towel, and personal toiletries
  • A flashlight, if possible

Getting there

The chalet is located in Ober Rudersberg near Abländschen (Saanen, BE) and is easily accessible by car via the Jaunpass or Bulle; parking is available directly at the chalet. If traveling by public transport, take the bus to Abländschen Dorf via Zweisimmen or Bulle; the post bus stop is just a few steps from the chalet.

Who is leading the event?

I spent over ten years working in marketing, PR, advertising, and lobbying. My job was to get people to like, share, and scroll more so that we could sell them more products. At home, I found myself scrolling endlessly through my own feeds until I realized: I was falling into the very trap I was setting for others.

The wake-up call came with the birth of my son, when the internet bombarded me with baby advertisements. I deleted my social media accounts, took control of my notifications and messages, and dove into research on the effects of smartphones on the brain and psyche. Day by day, I became calmer, more present, and more human again.
