From alpine cable cars in Vorarlberg to forest clearings in the Jura, Switzerland and Austria host some of the most varied Wim Hof Method (WHM) programming in Central Europe this summer. Between July and September 2026, nine events spanning Fundamentals Workshops, a Community Session, and a Nature Breathing Class bring the method’s three pillars — breathing, cold exposure, and commitment — to venues ranging from physiotherapy studios to mountaintop restaurants. Here’s a full rundown of what’s on offer, grouped by country and month.
WHM activities in Switzerland: July sessions in Uster and La Verrerie
On July 19, ALL ABOUT YOU on Florastrasse in Uster hosts a full-day WHM Fundamentals Workshop running from 09:00 to 16:30. The introductory format covers the full arc of the method: how oxygen and cold act as positive stressors on the body, guided breathing exercises, and an ice bath. Snacks, drinks, and a vegetarian lunch are included.
On July 28, at the Tourbière du Crêt near La Verrerie, a Nature Breathing Class shifts the focus onto breathwork alone. Running from 19:30 to 21:00, the evening session combines several rounds of guided breathing with a peaceful forest setting, closing with a short meditation.
WHM activities in Switzerland: a busy August across four venues
On August 9, Move Well Physiotherapie und Training in Villmergen hosts a Community Session tailored to those with some prior WHM experience. Running from 08:30 to 11:00, the shorter format favors practice over theory, with a brief recap, guided breathing, and an ice bath — a chance to keep up a regular practice within a local group.
On August 15, Stay Cool! Eisbaden & Atemtraining on Radhof 1 in Marthalen hosts a beginner-friendly Fundamentals Workshop from 10:00 to 14:00, covering breathing technique, theory, and a guided cold plunge — enough to leave with a practical grasp of the method’s basics.
On August 16, the Clos du Doubs near St-Ursanne hosts a Fundamentals Workshop from 09:30 to 13:30, set in the area’s historic surroundings. The program covers the theory behind cold and oxygen exposure, followed by guided breathing, an ice bath, and a group discussion.
On August 29, Physio drei eichen in Samstagern hosts an intimate Fundamentals Workshop from 09:00 to 13:00. Limited to a small group, the session covers breathing, cold therapy, and mind control with more personalized attention than larger formats allow; snacks and drinks are included.
WHM activities in Switzerland: Zug closes out the season in September
On September 26, Schule Guthirt in Zug hosts a Fundamentals Workshop from 10:00 to 14:00, covering the three pillars of breathing, cold exposure, and commitment. Concentration exercises and deep theory round out the day, with an optional ice bath to close. The venue sits close to the train station, with fresh fruit, juices, and homemade tea provided.
WHM activities in Austria: Dornbirn and Vienna
On August 2, the Panoramarestaurant Karren above Dornbirn — reached by a group cable car ride up from the valley station — hosts a Fundamentals Workshop from 15:30 to 20:00. The session pairs theory and guided breathing with an ice bath taken directly on the restaurant’s balcony, overlooking Lake Constance.
On September 19, the Munay Raum on Pokornygasse 23 in Vienna hosts a Fundamentals Workshop from 10:30 to 15:30, covering the science and mindset behind the method alongside intensive breathing and cold training. A vegetarian meal is included, and participants take home a photo from their ice bath.
