Rebecca Walsh – Hike Like a Woman
Hi, I’m Rebecca. I’m a guide, ski instructor, Army Veteran, breast cancer survivor, mountain climber, and a big fan of adventure travel. I started Hike Like a Woman in 2014 because I wanted to smash barriers to entry into the outdoors and help women explore. So far, I’ve led over 50 group trips, from the Wyoming wilderness to the rugged Andes and the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. I’d love to have you join me on an adventure.
Itinerary
Day 1 Les Houches to Les Contamines
Meet your group in Les Houches at 9 a.m., then ride the Bellevue cable car for sweeping views over the Chamonix Valley. The hike begins with an ascent through wildflower-filled meadows and crosses the dramatic Col de Tricot, where the Bionnassay Glacier reveals its icy splendor. Continue downhill past the peaceful Alpage du Truc, dotted with traditional wooden chalets, and wind your way through quiet forests before arriving in the charming village of Les Contamines.

Day 2 Les Contamines to Les Chapieux
Set off on an ancient Roman road that climbs steadily through larch forests and alpine terrain. The scenery becomes more dramatic as you ascend to Col du Bonhomme (2,329 m), followed by a challenging but rewarding push over Col de la Croix du Bonhomme (2,479 m), where the panoramic views stretch endlessly in all directions. Descend into the peaceful valley of Les Chapieux, a rustic hamlet known for Beaufort cheese farms and alpine pastures.

Enjoy dramatic views of Mont Blanc’s south face as you descend into the Val Veny. After a break in Courmayeur, a final climb takes you to Col Chécrouit, where a cozy mountain hut and one of the best sunset views on the trail await.
