Why Choose a Retreat Over a Standard Ski Holiday?

A typical ski holiday can feel rushed, crowded, and impersonal. A Girl Powder women’s retreat slows things down. It’s about experiencing winter fully—skiing, yes, but also sharing stories over dinner, practicing yoga together, and leaving with energy restored.

  • Friends looking for a unique mix of skiing, yoga, and wellness

  • Women who value community as much as adventure


What’s Not Included

  • Flights to Geneva

  • Insurance (required)

  • Lunches on the mountain

  • One evening meal out in Chamonix

  • Optional extras (private yoga, pilates, meditation, spa treatments)


Book Your Winter Women’s Retreat in Chamonix
