From Laugavegur to the Land of Glaciers: This All-Women Hiking Tour of Iceland Will Amaze you

Hiking in Iceland usually means the Laugavegur Trail — 55 kilometers through the southern highlands, and on a busy day, close to 100 hikers on the same stretch of ground. What’s different here is the alternative: a 150-kilometer backpacking route, roughly three times the length, that two guides carved out simply because it was the version of Iceland they wanted to hike themselves. Perica sits down with Albert to walk through the route — the length, the terrain, the river crossings, and why the smallest huts end up being everyone’s favorite part of the trip.

You don’t need to call yourself “a hiker” to do this. Saga didn’t, either, the first time — she was 20, wearing sweatpants, carrying a backpack from when she was 13. Nika sits down with Saga, founder of Viking Woman, to talk about what actually happens on a women-only hiking trip in Iceland: strangers who become friends within a day, the six-day Laugavegur trail from the Highlands to Þórsmörk, and the moment Iceland’s first female president told her, hand on her arm, to start her own company and never work under a man. It’s a conversation about nature, community, and the version of yourself that shows up when you stop overthinking it and just go. If you’ve been curious about traveling to Iceland but weren’t sure a women-only group was the right call, or whether you’re “fit enough” for it, this is the episode to watch first

Chamonix is where alpine adventure began and it’s still the most remarkable base camp a hiker could ask for. World-class trails, towering peaks, glaciers, cable cars that lift you into the high mountains in minutes, all packed into one valley with everything within reach. The access is phenomenal. But with so many options, so many trails, and so many moving parts, planning your time there can feel like a project in itself. That’s where Violette comes in. She’s a hiking guide with Nuyama, based in Chamonix, and she’s spent years on these trails—guiding, exploring, and learning the massif inside out. The kind of local knowledge that takes seasons to build, she’s sharing in one hour. Which hikes are worth your time, how the logistics actually work, how to structure your days, and the details that most people only figure out once they’re already there. This is your one-stop guide to hiking Chamonix and the Mont Blanc range straight from someone who lives it every day.

The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world’s great hikes. A legendary loop through France, Italy, and Switzerland, framed by glaciers, high passes, and storybook Alpine villages. But it’s often imagined as an all-or-nothing challenge: crowded huts, heavy packs, rushed days, and nights spent recovering rather than resting. As a lifelong mountain professional—raised in Chamonix by a mountain guide father and shaped by decades on skis and trails—Sébastien shares how the TMB can be experienced thoughtfully, comfortably, and still authentically. You’ll learn how hotel-based hiking allows for better sleep, balanced pacing, and deeper immersion in the landscape, without sacrificing the heart of the adventure. This session isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about doing the TMB well. If the Tour du Mont Blanc is on your list—but you want clarity before committing—this webinar is your first, reassuring step.

You step onto a high ridge, and the scale hits you.  Towering pinnacles rise like stone spires, valleys stretch wide and green below, and the scent of alpine meadows fills the air. The trails wind past rifugios and secret passes, each turn revealing a new landscape you never knew existed. This is the Dolomites: vast, varied, and full of possibilities. With so many options, it can be overwhelming. But that’s where a professional guide makes all the difference. Hiking guide Chris Hoge will take you deep inside the Dolomites. From choosing regions and trails to navigating logistics and discovering hidden corners, you’ll gain a clear view of how to plan your next epic hike. Whether you’re dreaming of a first Dolomites outing or a return to explore the range in depth, this video will give you the inspiration and insight to turn your plans into reality.
