Summer softens the Alps in the most beautiful way, offering lush valleys, quiet days, and trails you’ll remember long after you’ve left. At the crossroads of France, Italy, and Switzerland, these mountains become the perfect backdrop for an 8-day, women-only journey. With so many beautiful trails in the Alps, it’s easy to feel spoiled for choice—so we’ve already chosen the ones truly worth your time! It makes the hiking itself feel even better, especially when you’re exploring with like-minded women, carrying only a light daypack, and staying at a 4-star hotel. This is an experience created to inspire, uplift, and connect.

Day 2: Hike to Aiguillette des Posettes
Posettes France

There’s no better introduction to the beauty of the Alps than by witnessing panoramic views of the Mont Blanc range and the surrounding valleys. The trail winds through Alpine meadows and dense forests, providing shade and a serene atmosphere. Once we reach the top, we’ll be rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Aiguilles Rouges, Mont Blanc massif, and even Switzerland! The descent allows hikers to appreciate the scenery from a different perspective—take your time and enjoy the views. There are 2 ways to hike up the Aiguillettes, you can find them below.

Start hiking through Val Ferret and take in stunning views of Mont Blanc’s south face. After several hours of hiking, we’ll reach the famous Rifugio Bonatti, a hut named after the legendary mountaineer Walter Bonatti. The trail ends there at the bottom of the hut, so once you’ve soaked up the beauty of it all, you’ll get taken back to your hotel.

Day 4: Glacier walking on Mer de Glace

After today’s hike, head down to Chamonix for some free time or visit the popular Step into the Void glass room.

We’ll head back to the valley of Chamonix and enjoy your last evening there.

It was a wonderful trip! The trails were fun—challenging at times—but always rewarding. The mountains were magnificent, and the scenery felt almost surreal. The tour was thoughtfully designed, allowing us to experience a variety of activities, landscapes, and modes of transportation each day. We hiked through serene woods, walked on glaciers, got up close to snowy peaks, and visited dams and foggy lakes. I especially appreciated the all-women aspect of the tour, which brought a unique dynamic, a sense of relaxation, and genuine camaraderie. Our guide, Marta, was fantastic—very kind, knowledgeable, and responsible. Highly recommended!

Our trip was amazing! I do agree with another reviewer that a built in day of rest to explore Chamonix would have been nice. We arrived back to our hotel exhausted most days. But, we were there to hike! The accommodations were very nice. The views were stunning from all directions. Our weather was perfect and Armell was a knowledgeable and wonderful guide for our group.

The views did not disappoint and were breathtaking!! Each hike was different and showed another "side" of Mont Blanc. It was a trip of a lifetime. My only comment is coming from Florida we were not prepared for the difficulty and rocky terrain of the hikes. I wish we had been a little more prepared to the terrain and altitude. our guide, Armelle, was GREAT and made sure each person had a great experience.

Best scenery of all my trips. Weather was wonderful so we were able to hike each day. The activities/hikes planned were challenging but clearly doable if you had been hiking regularly before the trip. The information provided as to clothes and equipment to bring was good. Never really needed the puffer jacket but probably good to have.

Great trails but a bit tough for some of the ladies not used to hiking. However that was on them and not knowing the type of adventure they were going to be involved.

The trails were more challenging for someone like me from Florida going to the Alps to hike. I wasn't prepared for the rocky terrain and the steepness of the mountain. I completed each hike, but I wish I had understood how challenging they would be. At the end of the day, I loved my trip, accommodations, and especially our guide, Armelle.

I enjoyed the whole experience and the opportunities we were given. Some suggestions would include maybe another day so we can have some down time to explore the city on our own. We always got back very tired (not a bad thing) but we never really got to try more of the local food because we were so tired, and everything was so busy, that we really didn't eat much authentic French food.

LOVED this experience, even though it was tougher than I expected. That first day's descent was rough, but our guide stayed with us and supported the slower members of the group. The glacier was my favorite as it gave me the opportunity to do some ice climbing - a never before experienced treat. The mountains are gorgeous, the town and accommodations were splendid, and we actually were lucky to have good weather... seems to change frequently in Chamonix.

Lovely trip. The key was the smaller group I see in the future the trip size is double. The smaller size is why I signed up for this trip. Been on other hiking trips with 12 people and inevitably the group needs to split as not everyone is of the same ability. This was the first hiking trip with the exception of one that everyone was a a good hiker

Rarely have I met a guide as passionate and knowledgeable as François. We visited Mer de Glace. Our guide was very educational by going back 25 centuries ago and taking us through history as if we were there.Thank you so much !
