Spiritual Exercises in the Swiss Alps

Sonntag, 16. August 2026 – Sonntag, 23. August 2026

Spiritual Exercises in the Swiss Alps

You are invited to participate in the Spiritual Exercises of Living Stones / Pietre vive (www.pietre-vive.org) in the wonderful mountain region of Switzerland on the border to Italy, at 2000 m ASL. Discover the beauty of Simplonpass, pray in silence in nature and meet young people of Living Stones Groups from all over Europe.

The common language for the spiritual instructions and Eucharist will be mainly English. The spiritual accompaniment will take place in the following languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. 
Hikes: The “Spiritual Exercises" are in the center of attention. On two or three days we will hike together for about four hours per day. Individual hiking is also possible.

Arrival: It is not possible to arrive one day later because of the dynamic of Spiritual Exercises, but it’s no problem to arrive one day earlier.

Guides: Andreas Schalbetter SJ, Mathias Werfeli SJ, Caterina Bruno, Benoit Thevenon SJ and  Members of the Ignatian Community of Helpers, etc.
