Family Retreat 2027

A weekend of spiritual growth, community and rest in the heart of nature.

The church family waving, with the plain and the Alps behind

About this event

A balanced mix of teaching, worship and plenty of free time for hiking, games and fellowship. Our goal is to make room to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with God and with your church family.

The weekend runs from Friday evening worship to the Sunday morning service, which is open to everyone who would like to join us for the day.

Good to know

  • Accommodation

    Maison La Bessonne stands at 1,100 m on the slopes of the Suchet, surrounded by forests and pastures with views of the Alps. Rooms are arranged by family; shared rooms are available for individuals. There are meeting rooms, a games room, a playground and sports fields.

  • Getting there

    About 1 h 15 from Geneva by car. Carpooling is encouraged: tell us whether you have free seats or need a ride, and our coordinators will match drivers and passengers.

  • Just for the day

    Join us on Saturday from 9:15 (day fee applies) or for the Sunday service at 10:30 at La Bessonne.
