Climbing. Yoga. Nature. Connection. 🌱

This September (20.-26.), we welcome Anina Jud and Rolf Bäbler to Kompanj, Istria, for a week dedicated to movement, learning, and reconnecting with the outdoors.

Coming from the Swiss Alps, Anina and Rolf have spent much of their lives surrounded by mountains, rock, and wild landscapes. This autumn, they bring their passion and experience to another unique limestone landscape—the quiet hills and cliffs of inland Istria.

Surrounded by limestone walls, forest trails, and the peaceful rhythm of Kompanj, this retreat combines climbing, yoga, and time to slow down—creating space to challenge yourself, find balance, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being outside.

🌿 Meet your guides.

Growing up at the edge of the Swiss Alps, Anina Anina developed a deep connection to the outdoors from an early age. As a certified hiking guide, climbing instructor, and yoga teacher, she brings together her love for mountains, mindful movement, and time spent outdoors.

Rolf Rolf Bäbler Bergführer is an IFMGA mountain guide, climbing instructor, and coach. With his calm and encouraging approach, he helps climbers of all levels build confidence, develop their skills, and discover the joy of climbing in a supportive environment.

Together, Anina and Rolf invite you to experience climbing beyond grades and performance—to move your body, deepen your practice, explore the landscape, share good food, and connect with a like-minded community.

✨ A few spots are still available for this September retreat. We would love to welcome you to Kompanj and share the beauty of autumn in Istria with you.

This week's forecast calls for one thing:

Take it slow.
Find the shade.
Take a long swim.
Watch the sunset.

Summer has a way of reminding us that rest is part of the adventure, too. 🤍

One of the things we love most about autumn is welcoming new people to Kompanj. 🍂

This September, we're delighted to welcome Tanja Evensen from Norway for her very first retreat at Mountain Lodge Istria.

Although Mountain Lodge Istria is still young, one thing has become clear: people from all over Europe are finding their way to Kompanj. Every retreat brings together new stories, new friendships, and a shared love for nature and the outdoors.

🪷 Meet your teacher.

Tanja is a yoga teacher and retreat leader who believes that some of the best moments happen when we slow down enough to notice them. Through yoga, hiking, and time outdoors, she creates space for presence, connection, and a chance to simply be.

Together, her group will explore the peaceful landscapes of inland Istria, walk scenic trails, enjoy daily yoga, savour locally prepared meals, and experience the slower rhythm of life in Kompanj.

We're especially happy that Tanja chose Kompanj for the next chapter of her retreat journey. Her first retreat at Mountain Lodge Istria is almost fully booked, and we can't wait to welcome her and her wonderful group this autumn.

One spot left. Make sure it's yours. 🪷

Summer is in full swing… and we hope you're making the most of every sunny day. ☀️

But while you're planning your summer days, or simply enjoying a slower rhythm, we'd like to plant a little idea for what comes next.

Because autumn in Istria is something truly special.
🍂

As the summer crowds fade and the air becomes crisp, our limestone cliffs, forest trails, and quiet hilltop villages come alive in a different way. It's the season for long climbing days, peaceful hikes, nourishing meals, meaningful conversations, and evenings under the stars.

This autumn, Mountain Lodge Istria welcomes a series of intimate retreats led by inspiring climbers, mountain professionals, yoga teachers, and outdoor guides from across Europe.

Climbing. Yoga. Hiking. Nature. Connection.

Whether you're looking to improve your climbing, deepen your yoga practice, discover hidden corners of Istria, or simply spend a few days surrounded by nature, we'd love to welcome you to Kompanj.

Over the coming weeks, we'll introduce each retreat and the wonderful people behind them, so you can find the experience that feels right for you.

Small groups. Expert guidance. Local food. Limestone cliffs. Meaningful connections.

We hope to see you in Kompanj this autumn.

Can't decide between the mountains and the sea? Why not have both? 😉
One of our favorite things about this location is the balance. Up here in Kompanj, you are completely tucked away from the coastal crowds, surrounded by peacful hills and fresh air.
But when you crave the salt on your skin? The Adriatic Sea is just a 40-minute - all directions.
You can easily spend your afternoon swimming and return to the lodge just in time for a cool, peaceful evening under the stars.
The best of both worlds, exactly as it should be.

For the past two weeks, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of hosting the talented Greek Youth Sport Climbing Team here at Mountain Lodge Istria. 🇬🇷 Choosing Kompanj as their base, these young athletes spent their final training block prepping for the World Youth Championships in Arco, which kicks off tomorrow!
The team travelled daily for intense sessions at the gym in Koper. Some of the climbers used their free time to explore the crags right in our backyard, testing themselves on some of Kompanj’s classic lines. Since July isn't exactly peak climbing season 😊 , dedication looked like waking up at 4:00 AM just to catch the crisp morning air and pristine friction on the rock.
To balance out the heavy climbing load and keep their minds and bodies grounded, they also joined for yoga led by our in-house teacher here at the lodge.🧘‍♀️✨
Seeing their focus, team spirit, and love for the sport around our stone houses was truly inspiring.
Good luck to the entire team in Arco! Climb hard, stay safe, and we truly hope to welcome you all again in Kompanj.

Momente vom letzten Retreat in Istrien 🌿

Ein paar Tage, um runterzufahren, den Kopf frei zu bekommen und neue Energie zu sammeln.

Morgens Detox Yoga mit vielen Drehungen, Umkehrhaltungen und reinigenden Atemtechniken.

Abends nochmal auf die Matte: ruhig, mit Yin- und Restorative-Praxis.

Dazwischen: Wandern durch das frühlingshaft grüne Istrien mit mit einer überraschend großen Blumenvielfalt – und ein Abstecher ans Meer, das tatsächlich schon warm genug zum Reinspringen war.

Die Küche von : nicht nur unglaublich wohlschmeckend, sondern spürbar nährend und gut für den ganzen Organismus.

Getragen von einer so wohlwollenden Gemeinschaft mit einem ganz wunderbaren Sinn für Humor - danke an euch 🧡

Danke auch an für einfach alles und an und für diesen besonderen Ort!

This picture? Does anyone regognize this spot? 😉

It’s a glimpse inside the mystical tunnels of Vela Draga, where the hiking trail leads you right through the canyon walls. It’s a quiet and powerful place where time feels different.

We’ve spent quite some time walking these paths and finding the special spots. If you are looking for an active family day, or just a quiet place to slow down, we probably know a path or a place that fits exactly what you need.

When staying with us at Mountain Lodge Istria, you are always welcome to ask for ideas. We love sharing stories over morning coffee. 😊☕

A little reminder for anyone caught in the summer heat: Slow Down 🌊.

Rest is part of a holiday too, and the best thing you can do is nothing more then go for a swim, sit by the sea, and listen to the waves.

We are lucky here in Istria: from Kompanj, the Adriatic is only a short drive away in every direction. And trust us, when the temperature rise high, nothing works better than a swim in the sea.

It's a small thing, but on hot summer days, it can change the whole day 🩵.
