France at its Finest

If you’ve been looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip (that you’ll want to repeat), consider our 7-night yoga hiking, and spa retreat in the heart of the French Alps.

Say au revoir to stuffy hotels and stressful schedules—and say bonjour to luxurious lodgings and just the right mix of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Our private chalet is located just outside of Chamonix, a popular (for good reason) destination at the base of Mont Blanc, the highest summit in the Alps. With a picture-perfect downtown, quaint shops and restaurants, and some of the world’s best hiking mere steps away, you’ll wonder why you didn’t sign up for this before!

Spend your days surrounded by a small-yet-mighty group of inspiring women, flowing through asanas on our sun-kissed deck overlooking the mountains, shifting your perspective on guided hikes, and returning home to French wines, gourmet meals, and magical massages. Oui oui!

On this retreat, you'll enjoy:

Luxe Chalet Lodging

Spend seven nights at our private chalet Le Moulin, located in Chamonix, France. Make time to enjoy the onsite sauna and hot tub!

Daily Yoga Classes

Build body and mind self-awareness and openness with a menu of vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga. Yoga with a view of the French Alps? Incroyable!

Daily Gourmet Dining

Our private chef will treat your tummy to healthy and delicious meals, snacks, and smoothies. All dietary restrictions can be accommodated. *Please note that one dinner is not included, and will be on your own out in Chamonix.

Wine Tasting & Mixology

Enjoy a wine tasting evening at the chalet with a beautiful selection of French and European wines, as well as the opportunity to sample various wines during each dinner. We'll also savor a cocktail evening, with a mixologist.

Spa Day

Enjoy a full day out at the beautiful spa QC Terme in Chamonix. Here, you'll soak up the chill spa vibe and discover ways to relax that take pampering to a new level.

Plus, you'll receive a full-body massage at our chalet, sometime during the week!

Day in Chamonix town

We'll have a day "off" to sit in cafes, shop, and soak up the mountain town vibe in Chamonix on your own (after morning yoga, of course). Our other days are fairly full, so we want to make sure you have time to explore without an agenda for one day.

Mindfulness Exercises

Learn how to be more mindful and appreciative through meditation, intention-setting & journaling. Tap into your stunning surroundings and a week filled with self-care to set wellness intentions to take home with you.

Cable Car Excursion

For those so inclined (pun intended), enjoy a trip on the 'Aiguille du Midi' cable car, the highest cable car in Europe (3842m). This world-renowned visit is known for its stunning views of Mont Blanc and across the Alps into Italy.

Mount Blanc Helicopter Ride

Experience the thrill of a 20-minute helicopter ride around Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountain range. Bring your camera. Prepare to be rendered speechless. And possibly moved to tears (it's happened to Margaret twice now).

Guided Hikes

What would a French Alps vacation be without hiking?! We'll take you on two guided half-day hikes and a full-day hike (with a gourmet mountainside picnic lunch). As with all high altitude exercise, we highly recommend working on your cardio fitness prior to this trip.

We have an expression in our family, when something is just beyond any of our wildest expectations. When we can’t describe something, we just say, “Words Fail Me!” After this retreat, that's all I could came up with!

Our amazing French Chalet overlooking the gorgeous alps and Mont Blanc - breathtaking. The morning and afternoon yoga sessions, always followed by home cooked meals from our own personal chef. The hikes that were the most challenging yet rewarding physical activities I had ever been a part of. The scenery that just did not seem real. Did I mention the spa??? And just when you thought it could not get any better, any more exciting...there was the helicopter ride around Mont Blanc...and finally, the women. Friendships are created wherever Big Sky Yoga Retreats goes. The bond you form with your fellow retreaters will last a lifetime! I could go on and on...so, I guess words have not failed me!

This trip is the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Start the day with yoga, followed by a hike. The backdrop for all is simply breathtaking. There isn’t a moment where you won’t be in awe of nature and its surroundings. In addition, we enjoyed some fantastic adventures: wine tasting, a day spa and a helicopter ride over the Alps.

Wait, did I mention the wine? And the food? Each was a gastronomical event. From breakfast to gourmet packed lunches to 3-4 course dinners paired with lovely french wine. We applauded almost every night when dinner was brought to the table.

Simply staring out at those majestic mountains made me so thankful and gracious for everything and everyone in my life. I’ll never forget that feeling. It’s the kind of trip that makes you shake your head and wonder if you are really there. Don’t miss it. C’est Magnifique!

The French air cleans up the brain and does good – a world of good.

Vincent Van Gogh, Artist
In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.

Julia Child, Chef and Writer
Everything ends this way in France - everything. Weddings, christenings, duels, burials, swindlings, diplomatic affairs - everything is a pretext for a good dinner.

Chamonix, France

Chamonix is one of the oldest and most famous ski resorts in France. The north side of Mont Blanc’s summit is actually part of of the village, and (fun fact) the town hosted the first winter Olympics in 1924.
