Walking & Yoga Weekends
Come join us on a Women’s Walking and Yoga Weekend in the beautiful French Alps. We have put together a few weekends throughout the year where we welcome women of all ages and stages to come and enjoy time out from their busy lives to walk with us. These weekends include four nights and three days near the famous spa town of Saint Gervais Les Bains in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, about an hour from Geneva The area is known for its snow sports in the winter and walking, cycling and climbing in the spring and summer. Check out our Open dates on “Book A Weekend” and get booking!
As well as our Open Weekends, we also organise weekends for friends who would like to book as a group of six or more. These weekends can take place any time throughout the year and are at the your convenience. Just get in touch.
Whether you are coming on your own or as a group, the daily program will be the same.
The daily program of our walking and yoga weekends.
Each morning we will wake to freshly baked croissants and coffee (or tea and a boiled egg, whatever takes your fancy), then pack our picnics and set off with our IML (International Mountain Leader) for the day’s hike. Our walks will take us up mountain passes, through forests, past glaciers and fast flowing rivers, up cols and down ridges. We will take time to stop and swim (or dip a toe) into glacier lakes, admire the wild flowers and search the mountainside for marmottes, ibex, chamois and wild eagles.
On our return to our chalet, we can relax with a piece of homemade cake and a cup of tea out on the decking overlooking the mountains, and when our muscles are feeling a bit tight after the day’s walking, we will meet in the garden for a yoga session and stretch. Every afternoon, a masseuse will be at hand to offer massages for those who wish it and if time allows, a visit to the famous Saint Gervais thermal baths can be arranged.
In the evening we will enjoy an aperitif in the garden followed by a leisurely three course dinner with wine. Tired, but happy, we will head to bed to be ready for tomorrow’s adventure.
