Itinerary

This all-women ski holiday in Chamonix and its surrounding best-ofs packs incredible skiing and incredible company into one epic week! We’ll ski the best of the Italian, French, and Swiss Alps by day, then let loose in the vibrant aprés-ski spots by night! After a few action-packed days, we’ll indulge in a luxe afternoon at Pré Saint Didier Terme and let our sore muscles melt away with hydromassage, saunas, and an outdoor pool with panoramic views of Mont Blanc. With stylish accommodations, breakfasts, daily transfers, and a top-notch experienced local guide taken care of, all that's left is to show up, have fun, and ski some epic terrain with the best crew you can imagine.

  • Bienvenue! Make your way to Chamonix and settle into your hotel room before meeting your guide and your team for a welcome dinner. We’ll share a meal, get to know each other, discuss our experience and expectations for the week, and get some rest for tomorrow’s slopes!

  • We’ll kick things off with a full day of skiing the south-facing slopes of Brévent and Flégère in Chamonix Valley. With jaw-dropping views of Mont Blanc, these runs offer a great mix of challenging and cruisy terrain—perfect for warming up and shaking out any travel stiffness. We’ll get those legs moving and have some laughs along the way!

  • Today, we’ll cross into Italy to discover Courmayeur, a charming village nestled in the Aosta Valley with views of the south face of Mont Blanc. After a 30-minute drive, we’ll carve our first turns in Courmayeur’s ski resort. This spot offers a perfect blend of open runs and tree-lined trails, all with stunning views of the iconic mountain. And let’s not forget the Italian charm—we can always stop for a cappuccino at a cozy café or savor a delicious Italian lunch in a traditional mountain restaurant. We’ll head back to Chamonix at the end of the day for more aprés or a relaxing evening at the spa.

    One happy skier in Chamonix Alps
  • Today we’ll take the Aiguille du Midi cable car for a journey to the top of the Alps. Those ready for the challenge are in for a descent down the legendary Vallée Blanche—an epic 22-km (14-mile) off-piste glacier descent with a chance to ski all the way back to Chamonix. If you’re not up for the full glacier run, no worries—the view alone from Aiguille du Midi will be worth it, as will the iconic Montenvers train ride back to Chamonix! Our guide will assess our skills and make sure the day is amazing regardless of our run. If Vallée Blanche is not possible, we might head to Les Houches, Le Tour or another great resort close by.

    Meals: Breakfast
    Accommodation: La Folie Douce Hôtel

We’ll recover our muscles with toning waterfalls, hydromassages with thermal water, saunas, and relaxation rooms. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet moment, reflect on our adventure so far, and center ourselves.

    Note that depending on weather conditions and how sore our legs feel, Days 4 and 5 can be switched.

  • Today, we’re crossing into Switzerland for an unforgettable ski day in Verbier, one of the most renowned ski resorts in the Alps. Known for its vast freeride terrain, Verbier offers everything from wide-open powder fields to more challenging runs. Beyond skiing, Verbier is connected to three valleys, so it’s the perfect base for Alpine exploration. We’ll head back to Chamonix in the evening and unwind over drinks, in the hotel spa area, or in the comfort of our rooms.
