All-Women Ski Holidays Around Chamonix: France, Italy, and Switzerland

Chamonix and its surroundings boast some of the best skiing in Europe. We’re not just saying that because we’re locals who’ve been cruising down these slopes for years now. We’re saying that because the Alps offer massive ski regions and circuits, allowing us to ski for miles, discover all types of terrain, and indulge in Europe’s best après-ski scene! We put together this week-long, all-women adventure, over the course of which we’ll ski in France, Italy, and Switzerland! Chamonix, Courmayeur, Verbier, Vallée Blanche—we’ll cross all of the usual buzzwords when it comes to Alpine skiing of our lists. You’ll look forward to carving turns as much as to retreating back to your lodging, as we’ll be staying at a stylish and upscale hotel with a bar, restaurants, and more!

Adventure highlights

  • Ski the iconic, 22-km (14-mile) Vallée Blanche
    With good conditions and sufficient experience, we’ll be able to cruise down a 22-kilometer off-piste run from Aiguille du Midi!
  • Stay at a stylish 4-star hotel
    After long days on the snow, we deserve to relax our sore leg muscles, whether in a lively bar or in the hotel’s spa
  • Women-only adventure
    Explore the majestic Alps in the company of like-minded women, whether you come solo or with a friend, relative, or partner!
