women only for this one <3 get ready for a few days of retreat in the heart of the mountains, filled with skiing, accessible learning, and friendly, social moments! you’ll be part of a small group, ensuring personalized guidance and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. on the agenda: a backcountry education camp for women, in chamonix. it provides practical, free-ride-focused skill development in alpine terrain, led by guides and professionals. the aim is to improve access to relevant training for women, build confidence in higher terrain, and strengthen female networks in the alps. beyond the skiing, we’ll share a few good moments together: dinners catered by oma, slow breakfasts from our favourite bakery in town, pinpin, a night up in a mountain refuge above the glacier, and some easy time back in chamonix — wandering, coffee stops, maybe an apéro.

Bedrock
Certified guide agency
We started Bedrock because mountain culture became too loud about performance — results, summits, records, visibility. Inspiring, but narrow. It celebrates outcomes, but rarely holds the process. We wanted to create a place where people could learn and move in the mountains without pressure to perform or impress, while making space for perspective, reflection, and culture shaped by real days outside and shared experiences. Bedrock exists to support a more grounded way of being in the mountains: curious, thoughtful, and built to last.
