THE TOUR

Since 2023, Outdoor Adventure Girls has been offering bespoke travel tours for their 40,000 members. The international trips will focus on outdoor adventure, pushing guests out of their comfort zone and creating incredible connections with other women in the most sought-after bucket list destinations on Earth.

For this OAG Overseas Tour, we’re taking you to one of the most iconic long-distance trails in the world – the legendary Tour du Mont Blanc. This is Europe at its most dramatic: soaring peaks, vast glaciers, flower-filled meadows and valleys so powerful they stop you in your tracks.

Across nine unforgettable days, you’ll explore some of the TMB’s most breathtaking highlights. Think panoramic balcony trails high above Chamonix, rugged mountain passes linking France, Italy and Switzerland, and winding paths that bring you closer to the mighty Mont Blanc itself. Every day serves up a new “this is why I love the mountains” moment.

You’ll tackle rewarding climbs, wander through charming alpine villages, refuel with amazing food, and spend your evenings soaking in that pure post-hike glow. With cosy accommodations, supportive hosts and an inspiring group of women around you, it’s the perfect mix of challenge, connection and awe-inspiring scenery.

All of this, and the sheer magic of travelling through three countries on foot, is why we’re so excited to take you on this incredible journey in 2026.
