The mountains have this beautiful way of showing us exactly who we are. Over 8 days in Zermatt, we’ll experience this together as we follow historic trails under the Matterhorn, find quiet moments by Alpine lakes, and share meals and views with like-minded women. After each rewarding day, our 4-star hotel in the heart of Zermatt will welcome us with Swiss comfort and mountain-town charm. Here, between glaciers and centuries-old hamlets, we’ll discover what happens when you give an iconic location—and yourself—the time they deserve.
Experience the very best of Zermatt with women who love mountains! On these 8-day hiking holidays, we’ll trek through the Swiss Alps' most stunning terrain: pristine mountain lakes, historic huts, a dramatic gorge, and trails with endless views of the Matterhorn. An experienced woman mountain guide leads the way to both iconic views and hidden gems, while our 4-star hotel in car-free Zermatt provides the perfect retreat. With all logistics sorted, from airport transfers and lift passes to breakfasts and trail lunches, we’re free to focus on what matters: sharing great hikes and good times in one of the Alps' most legendary locations.
