Britt
For me, ski life in Chamonix has been before and after I joined the club. I have learned new skills and met new and old friends. Nearly every day if I am out skiing I meet someone I know, or have been skiing or climbed with! It's so fun
Sandra
I’m all in - what you ladies create and organize gives me immense joy and makes me feel like a 20 yr old again - so thank you to all of you x
Nicola
The WMC rocks and is just the best! Such a great way to get out on the mountain with expert advice to work on and really feel like you’ve improved afterwards and have fun with friends! You are SUCH an amazing teacher. Patient, supporting, encouraging and importantly pushing us out of our comfort zone so thank you again. So happy I did it. Booking on for the next one now!

HOW IT WORKS
We've got a top notch program
Technical Session - with Instructors
Hone your tecshnique and skills
Spend the morning with a top female instructor who will help you develop your skiing over the season. Tell us your goals and we help get you there. Whether you want to master the moguls or crush your carve turn. We have you covered. Spending some dedicated time working on certain elements of your skiing in all terrain is a game changer. Each session has a specific focus depending on snow conditions.
Mountain Skills - with Guides
Learn how to play and travel off piste
Going off-piste or into the higher mountains brings with it, its own set of skills. Not only are there variations in style but the risks require knowledge in snowpack analysis, avalanche procedures, glacier travel, to name a few... Once you know how to approach the off-piste correctly the fun can really begin with ski touring trips and epic adventures to new terrain. Boy, do we girls have fun!
Cross Country Ski Sessions
Slide and glide with style and grace!
Ski de Fond is a great way to travel through the mountains and get a full body workout, all at the same time! There’s 2 techniques which use different kit - classic and skating. They are both technical and great fun. Our sessions, with inspiring female instructors, have you covered from starting skinny ski sliding for the first time to going on an adventure and traversing a mountain range!
Summer Sports - with Guides
We bring the adventure, you bring the suncream!
A summer schedule full of opportunities to keep our winter community connected and have fun in the sun. We organise road bike meetups, MTB skills sessions, sport climbing days, alpine mountaineering, and hiking tours.
WHO ARE YA?
By Women for Women
Our Mission
Provide every woman with the opportunity to thrive on the mountain. Support the development of skills on and off the piste.
Our Standard
Every woman has their own story, they are CEOs of businesses, digital nomads, transfer drivers, bar staff, chalet maids and also just rolling through for a visit. For this reason, we always want to remain affordable so that no matter the situation any woman can come along.
Our "Love It!" Guarantee
The women's mountain club Chamonix & Morzine is run by women for women. We provide only the best instructors and guides. We listen to our member's needs. We love what we do. So will you.

STOP ! LOOK ! SLIDE !
Womens Mountain Club and its members support any initiative that encourages greater safety and respect in the environments we love to spend time. Piste X Code is one such initiative. The Piste X Code is a not-for-profit, bilingual slope safety campaign. They aim to introduce new skiers and snowboarders to the established rules of the piste while reminding experienced mountain-goers of their safety responsibilities.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Collaborating with Outdoor Experts.
