Teresa Kaufman Walks for Women
Discovery outings exclusively for women explorers in the Chamonix Valley
A spoonful of curiosity, a pinch of empowerment – and you’ve got the recipe for a great afternoon. Join these outings exclusively for groups of women, led by local mountain climber, tour guide and photographer Teresa Kaufman.
Teresa is taking her innovative Discovery & Photo Walks one step further this season by proposing outings exclusively for women explorers, adventurers and world-travelers, but also for the solo traveller or individual gal who can really appreciate some time-off from her demanding life as a wife and mother.
Ladies, this will be an afternoon designed specifically for you. You’ll be choosing the itinerary that most suits:
- your taste
- your interests
- your style
- your pace
These walks will be your chance to discover Chamonix in a manner that only women can do together or alone. So give Chamonix a chance and see how utterly enjoyable this place can be for you, whether you are:
- married – and have sent your husband skiing
- mother of kids – and have sent your kids skiing with your husband
- a group of dynamite women on the same wave-length
- divorcred or widowed
- traveling on your own
- simply a curious lady who wants to develop her photographic eye and use her camera or phone in a strategic manner
Walks for Women is an active outing but not a sports-oriented one. The walks are not difficult or challenging, but you will be outside in the elements, so proper attire will be essential. Led by Teresa, the walks offer a chance to enjoy three hours of fresh air with some interesting people, beautiful scenery and fascinating discoveries. And sometimes, some pretty cool encounters. So everyone can do it – at their own individual pace.
The itineraries are drawn from the large selection of Teresa's Discovery & Photo Walks. Visit her website to get an idea of which kind of walk appeals to you and to your friends and you can take a look at her Instagram page to find out more about her walks and her work. Then contact Teresa who will take the time to listen to your request, brainstorm a bit so that your walk will be created in your image.
You may want to have Teresa do a Personal Photoshoot of you on the walk in order to capture the memory. Ask her about combining the two services.
Need to know:
- Walks for Women is a tailor-made, bespoke activity arranged depending on the groups interests
