SWITZERLAND
UNDER MOUNTAIN SKIES: MUSES OF THE ALPS
Bright days, soft pace, open hearts. We begin by the light of Lake Lucerne, craft with remarkable Swiss women, rest our eyes on Kandersteg’s turquoise, and toast the terraced glow of Lavaux. Two unrushed Zermatt days make the Matterhorn your morning companion and give you room to breathe. Fewer hotel switches, more presence, evenings that land like a contented exhale.

Day 1: Zurich to Lucerne
Welcome to Zürich: lake light and the scent of cacao. We open with a women-led bean-to-bar chocolate workshop. Afterward, we head to Lucerne, drop our bags, and stretch our legs by the Reuss as the Old Town’s painted facades catch the light. Early dinner, early pillow. Tomorrow opens bright.
Meals included: Welcome drinks and bites
Day 2: Jodeling and Rigi Waters
Morning belongs to voice: a playful jodel session led by a Swiss woman where breath turns into courage and harmony. After lunch, boat and cogwheel lift us to Rigi Kaltbad for warm mineral pools and a short plateau stroll above the lake. Cheeks warm, shoulders soft, hearts steady.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 3: Kandersteg
Into turquoise we go. A swoop by cable car and an easy lakeside ramble at Oeschinensee. Cowbells somewhere on the slope, a postcard at every turn. By afternoon we settle in car-free Zermatt, wander cobbled lanes, and let the Alps tuck us in.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 4: Under the shade of Matterhorn
Matterhorn morning. The Gornergrat train climbs into sky, and we wander to the mirror of Riffelsee for that once-in-a-lifetime reflection. Afternoon is yours: a sauna circuit, a café terrace, perhaps both. Evening glows with alpine comfort..
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 5: Zermatt Yoga Session
Sunlight on the peaks, mats on the floor: a women-led yoga & breathwork session to ground posture and presence. Later, a gentle storytelling stroll with a local woman, village life, winter lore, and everyday grace beneath the mountains. Sunset finds us unhurried and proud of small, steady shifts.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch on board
Day 6: Women Winemakers of Valais
We trace the Rhône to a woman-led cellar for terroir talk and a lingering tasting. Stone, sun, and patience in the glass. By late day we arrive in Lavaux, terraces stepping down to Lake Geneva. A golden walk between vines, then dinner as the shore lights bloom.
Meals included: Breakfast and wine tasting
Day 7: Bookbinding in Vevey
A women-led bookbinding atelier where you design and stitch a hand-bound journal to keep. Follow with a gentle vineyard-terrace walk or a lakeside café pause; let the day end in soft laughter.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 8: Geneve
Hands steady, heart quiet: a full Swiss paper-cutting (scherenschnitt) day with a celebrated woman artist, museum intro, guided practice, your framed piece to take home. We finish in Geneva with that satisfied, light feeling of a week well spent.
Meals included: Breakfast and farewell dinner
