WORLDSCHOOLING IN AUSTRIA
Fall Retreat in the Mountains
Set among the stunning Austrian mountains, this worldschooling retreat is the perfect place to relax, play, work and learn together.
Imagine your kids racing down leaf-covered trails with new friends from around the world, climbing and splashing together in mountain streams, or challenging each other on suspension bridges and rock walls. They are free to explore, laugh, and be children in nature.
Meanwhile, parents unwind in the fresh alpine air, share stories of travel and learning, or slip away for a moment of quiet in the spa, sauna, or indoor pool at the beautiful Mondi Hotel am Grundlsee. With spacious family rooms overlooking the lake, hearty Austrian meals, and wellness options like yoga classes, it’s the perfect base for our community.
Each day brings a new adventure: rafting wild rivers, flying across valleys on a zipline, or enjoying the panoramic views from mountain carts and bridges. In the evenings, we gather together to share meals, conversations, and laughter, building that “village” where everyone belongs.

Every single travel experience is educational. On this trip we will not be sitting in classrooms, or looking at textbooks. We will be exploring, immersing, learning from doing. We will be sharing all the knowledge about the area that we have collected over the years. We will be encouraging kids and adults to break out of their shell and step a little out of their comfort zone and remember what it's like to be a wild child. This might not be in your local school's curicullum but it will be transformational in another way.
We hope that you will leave inspired, full of wonder and with your soul well rested.
Yes, all the families will be added to a WhatsApp group to get to know each other before the trip and discuss the itinerary. We will also use WhatsApp to communicate during the trip.
I think that's a question you need to ask yourself. We have never had an issue whether families did not get along.
During our past cruises, introverts have enjoyed sporadic company of other introverts, while their kids were able to be social and extroverts had fun with the whole group. No matter what you will have the perfect experience for you. The more you put into it the more you will get out of it. Be yourself, be authentic, and make time to connect with others. You'll be so happy you did!

Our first and foremost personal belief is in freedom of choice. All of the trips we organized lead with that belief. You are NEVER required to do an activity you do not want to do or participate in group's gatherings that you do not want to participate in. We will always encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, but ultimately you know yourself and your family better than anyone else and you will need to be the judge for what aligns with you and your family best.
Food outside the resort meal plans, transfers, tips, airfare, pre-/post lodging, as well as additional attraction tickets, lift tickets, outside of those stated in the schedule. Any other additional day trip expenses are not included in the price. Public buses are very easy and run very often. Much of the travel around the area will be done by bus or train which are both very affordable. Coach buses will be hired for further destinations and there may be additional fees for private buses.
The resort will have breakfast and dinner included with the Half-Board option. The rooms do have small kitchenettes if you want to prepare food and snacks. Lunch will most likely be out on the mountain or in another village while exploring the area. Light lunch is available for purchase at the resort if you choose not to go out that day or you can always walk to any of the local restaurants.
