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.

Set along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, this is a version of climbing most people never see. Limestone walls rising straight from the sea. Quiet bays you can only reach by boat. Mornings that begin with coffee on deck and end with saltwater still on your skin. Explore Croatia through the eyes of two people who know it deeply.  Luka Sarić brings local knowledge of the coast: its hidden anchorages, small towns, food, and rhythm. Luka Perunović, a lifelong climber and national champion, brings an intuitive understanding of movement, progression, and how to shape unforgettable climbing days. Together, they showed how sailing and climbing weave into something seamless: waking up somewhere new, climbing above the water, swimming between routes, and ending each day exactly where it makes sense. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a way of moving through Croatia that almost feels unreal. Until you see how it works.

The Camino de Santiago isn’t just a long walk across Spain or Portugal.  It’s a rhythm, a tradition, and a way of moving through the world that has endured for more than a thousand years. Kings, pilgrims, seekers, and everyday people have followed these paths not to conquer distance, but to create space for reflection, clarity, and quiet achievement. In this webinar, you’ll explore the Camino through the calm, experienced perspective of a local Camino specialist.  Get an inside look into what the Camino really feels like day to day: steady walking, welcoming villages, shared meals, simple accommodations, and the quiet satisfaction of arriving in Santiago de Compostela—no matter which route you choose. You’ll learn the differences between the Camino Francés and Camino Portugués, how to choose the one that fits your pace and intentions, and what level of fitness is truly required.  If the Camino has been calling you—gently, persistently—this is where clarity begins.

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.
