Our Women’s Walking and Yoga Weekend will include four nights staying in a typical alpine chalet in a village near the famous mountain town of Chamonix Mont Blanc, in the French Alps about an hour from Geneva airport.

The area is known for its snow sports in the winter and the walking and climbing in the spring and summer. From here we will explore the stunning surrounding alpine region.

Each morning starts with croissants and coffee, homemade granola, fruit and yogurt (or tea and a boiled egg, whatever takes your fancy), then pack your picnics and set off with Marit or Mel, one of our IMLs (International Mountain Leader), for the day’s hike.

The walks will take you along mountain passes, through forests, past glaciers and fast flowing rivers, up cols and down ridges. You will take time to stop and dip a toe in glacier lakes, admire the wildflowers and search the mountainside for marmottes, ibex, chamois and wild eagles.

On return to the chalet, you will relax with a piece of homemade cake and a cup of tea out on the decking overlooking Mont Blanc. If your muscles are feeling a bit tight after a day’s walking, you can join Rosie or Claire, one of our yogis, in the garden for a yoga session and stretch. Early evening, our yogi will also be at hand to offer massages for those who wish them.

In the evening we will meet for an aperitif in the garden followed by a leisurely three course dinner with wine. Tired but happy we will head to bed to be ready and rested for the next day’s adventure.
