ALPINE ESCAPADE WITH THE SISTERHOOD
April 16 – 28, 2027
Six Countries. Endless Beauty.
One Unforgettable Adventure.
From Mont Blanc to the Dolomites:
A Sisterhood Journey Across Six Alpine Nations
Buckle up, Sister, because this is not your average European getaway. On our Alpine Escapade 2027, we’re taking you on the ultimate bucket-list journey through six spectacular countries: France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Italy, where jaw-dropping scenery, legendary mountain towns, and unforgettable cultural moments unfold day after day.
Stand in the shadow of Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest peak. Ride the iconic GoldenPass train through Swiss postcard landscapes. Sip bubbly in Italy’s sun-drenched Prosecco Hills. Cross through medieval villages, glide through glacial mountaintops, explore UNESCO-protected valleys, and toast to new friendships from the “Top of Europe.” This trip is designed to dazzle with snow-capped peaks, flower-filled meadows, picture-perfect lakes, and epic views at every turn.
With just 16 spots available, this is more than a women-only adventure – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to say yes to yourself. Yes to wonder. Yes to standing on mountaintops. Yes to laughing until your stomach aches over a shared bottle of wine. As we travel across six breathtaking countries, something beautiful happens: strangers become Sisters. These aren’t just passing travel companions – they’re women who will witness your joy, hold space for your stories, and cheer you on every step of the way. When the mountains are behind us and the suitcases are unpacked, it’s the Sisterhood that will stay with you forever.
All you have to do is say yes and we’ll take care of the rest.

Activity Level:
Moderate
This multi-country Alpine journey is ideal for women who are comfortable walking and standing for extended periods, riding mountain trains and cable cars, and spending full days engaged in sightseeing and cultural experiences. Springtime in the Alps brings fresh mountain air, blooming valleys, and crisp temperatures, perfect for immersive exploration with your Sisters.
Walking & Standing: Expect daily walking, ranging from leisurely strolls in alpine towns like Chamonix, Annecy, and Oberammergau to longer guided tours of historic city centers and alpine villages. Surfaces may include cobblestones, uneven stone walkways, stairs, and sloped streets. Some activities, such as the visit to the Dolomites’ Val Badia or Lucerne’s Old Town, involve several hours of exploration with breaks. Comfortable shoes and the ability to walk up to 2–3 miles at a moderate pace will ensure you enjoy the full experience.
Terrain, Transport & Accommodations: This itinerary includes scenic rail journeys, motor coach transfers, and mountain ascents via cogwheel trains and cable cars. Luggage handling is included, but you should be able to manage getting on and off trains and buses independently. Hotels are centrally located in alpine towns and villages, often featuring historic architecture with occasional staircases or uneven flooring. Weather can shift quickly in the mountains. Warm layers, a scarf, gloves, and a waterproof jacket are recommended even in spring.
Altitude Considerations: Several highlights of this journey take us to high elevations above 9,500 feet, including Jungfraujoch (11,300 feet) and the Aiguille du Midi (12,600 feet). Oxygen levels are lower at these heights, which may cause shortness of breath, headaches, or fatigue. The Aiguille du Midi optional excursion also requires climbing approximately 200 steps at high altitude. Travelers with heart or respiratory conditions should consult their physician before booking. All high-altitude excursions are optional, and gentler alternatives, such as scenic valley walks or lower-altitude train rides, are available.
Pace & Flexibility: This thoughtfully designed itinerary balances immersive sightseeing with time for relaxation. Many days include guided activities followed by free time to explore at your own pace, rest in a café, or simply take in the alpine views. While the journey spans multiple countries, hotel stays average two nights in each location to minimize packing and unpacking.
