In Her Element – Ski, Snow & Wellness for Women
Morzine is home to an exceptional network of female ski instructors, fitness coaches, therapists and chefs—and In Her Element connects you with the very best. Our curated collection of experiences lets you choose what fits your goals, pace and mood. From skiing and movement to wellness and nature, everything is designed to help you feel confident, capable, and completely at ease on the mountains—turning your ski holiday into something truly extraordinary.
Why women?
If you love the mountains but something about your skiing experience has shifted, you’re not alone. A Snowsport England survey found that 62% of UK women say fear or anxiety affects their time on the slopes — and a third feel that their fear has increased in the past five years.
It’s no surprise. From physical and hormonal changes to care-giving responsibilities and years of skiing in mixed-ability or male-dominated groups, women face many barriers to feeling their best on the mountain.
If you’ve spent years skiing at someone else’s pace or you’re now facing the challenge of skiing with children, it’s natural to lose some of the freedom and flow you once felt. Our new campaign, In Her Element, is about changing that — it’s about shaping your mountain holiday around you and what your body needs.
Tailor Your Ski Holiday
Whether you’re on a girls’ trip, a family holiday or a solo adventure, we’ve hand-picked the best experiences in Morzine to help you build confidence, strength and joy on the slopes — through ski coaching, movement and mobility, reset and restoration.
Our pick-and-mix approach lets you design the holiday that fits your goals, pace and mood. Whether you want a focused morning of one-to-one ski coaching, a relaxing spa session, or a full week of connection, growth and adventure, you can choose what feels right for you.
Hand-picked experiences for women
Whether it’s a private ski session with exceptional coach Helena, a yoga session to stretch and strengthen with expert instructor Ursula, a restorative massage in the comfort of your chalet, or an all-girls snowshoe adventure into Morzine’s wilder landscapes, these experiences will elevate your mountain holiday to something truly extraordinary.
Women’s Ski Coaching
Helena McClintock is a BASI Level 4 qualified ski instructor with full French equivalence and Carte Pro. Through ski school, Ski Beyond, she helps female skiers find their flow, build confidence, and rediscover the joy of skiing.
Whether you want to improve your technique, rebuild confidence after a setback, or simply enjoy skiing without overthinking every turn, Helena creates a supportive space that helps you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to skiing with ease and confidence.
One-on-one Private lessons
Focussed, fun and tailored to you – a one-on-one lesson is a great way to boost confidence and improve your technique at your own pace. Meeting you exactly where you are at, Helena will help you flourish in a safe and supported environment.
Private Group Lessons
Helena offers 2-hour, half-day or full-day ski lessons for groups of 1 to 6 women, of any age or ability. If you want to get the most out of your skiing — and have fun doing it — a bespoke private lesson is the most effective way to progress.
Whether your goal is to refine your technique, build confidence around the resort, or chase the best off-piste snow, Helena tailors every session to your goals, level and pace.
Strength & Mobility
Yoga for Snowsports
Yoga builds the strength, mobility and flexibility that skiing and snowboarding demand, while also cultivating presence, clarity and calm. Ursula, a local instructor with a wealth of expertise – core and strength-based yoga, yin and restorative practice, myofascial release, Qigong, trauma-sensitive approach to yoga and somatic bodywork in Vinyasa – guides sessions that help women release tension, rebuild strength and reconnect with their inner rhythm. Many of our chalets have beautiful spaces for yoga, allowing you to practice in the comfort of your home-from-home, or you can join Ursula in the charming Morzine studio, one of the village’s oldest buildings near the Marie.
Pilates
Pilates can make a real difference to your health, movement and sports performance. By emphasising proper breathing and correct alignment, it helps you connect with your centre and move in a smooth, flowing way—without tension or stress.
The expert instructors at Mountain Rehab offer one-to-one sessions in their fully equipped studio. They quickly identify your individual needs and tailor each session to the way you move and learn. This focused approach can help you get far more out of your regular mat sessions, target a specific area of weakness, or support your rehabilitation after injury.
If you prefer to join a class, you can also book a one-off session in one of their 10 weekly group classes, held in their beautiful Morzine studio. With levels ranging from absolute beginner to advanced flow, there’s something for everyone.
Spa & Wellness
In-chalet massage
If you’re looking for an expert massage to soothe tired muscles and release tension, there is no need to step out of your chalet. For treatments lasting more than an hour, a Mountain Rehab therapist will come directly to you, bringing everything needed for a deeply restorative experience—massage couch, oils, fluffy towels, expert hands and exceptional knowledge. Specialists in sports massage, deep tissue work, relaxing post-exercise treatments, trigger point therapy and myofascial release, they tailor every session to the individual. With no set formulas, simply book the time you want and they’ll deliver exactly the results your body needs.
Energy and healing treatments
Little Wild offers a nurturing treatment programme that blends reiki energy healing, reflexology, crystal therapy, chakra work, massage and breath work. Guests can choose from the curated treatment menu, or opt for The Wild Space—a fully prescriptive session shaped in the moment to meet whatever the body and mind need. Known locally for her magical touch, Carrie brings years of experience and a warm, open-hearted approach to every treatment, resulting in sessions that feel both deeply intensive and profoundly comforting.
Les Sources du Chéry Spa
For the ultimate in Alpine wellness, slip into the serene world of Les Sources du Chéry in Les Gets. This beautifully designed spa offers a cocoon of hammams, saunas, hot tubs and plunge pools, along with a menu of natural, deeply restorative treatments to soothe both mind and body. Whether you’re taking precious time for yourself or sharing a luxurious afternoon with friends, it’s the perfect place to relax, reconnect and truly recharge. Spa access starts from €31 per person for 1 hour.
Nature & Adventure
Sunset Snowshoe
Evening and sunset are magical times in the mountains—moments that stay with you long after your holiday ends. Snowshoeing is the perfect way to step off the beaten track and experience this daily spectacle in its purest form. As you wander through peaceful forests and across open snowfields, you’ll watch the sun melt behind the peaks, village lights flicker on below, and the stars slowly appear overhead.
Vivien at DaysAway Adventures is an experienced mountain guide who shares fascinating insights into the local flora, fauna and the incredible mountain landscape around Morzine and Les Gets. You can book a private sunset snowshoe just for you and your friends, or—if you’re travelling solo—join her weekly group hike. No experience is required, and everything is taken care of: snowshoes, poles, a head torch and pick-up from a central location are all provided.
Ice diving in Lake Montriond
The benefits of cold-water therapy are becoming increasingly well known, and there’s nowhere more breathtaking to experience it than Lake Montriond. With winter temperatures dipping between 4°C and 0°C, you’ll plunge into stunning frozen waters for a serene, euphoric moment surrounded by glittering ice and absolute stillness. This is not an activity to try alone—professional guidance and the right equipment are essential. A guided Ice Diving Adventure ensures complete safety throughout an exhilarating 2.5-hour session, letting you explore the magic of cold immersion with confidence. Available December to March.
Food and Nourishment
Claire Scott Catering
Food is a crucial part of any holiday, and in the mountains it becomes even more important—nourishing you, fuelling your days and helping you feel your best all week long. Clare and Lucy, both seasoned chefs with experience in chalets, super-yachts, barges and restaurants, design each menu just for you, rather than relying on a fixed package. Colour, flavour and seasonal produce are at the heart of their cooking: they draw on the freshest local market ingredients to create dishes that both nourish and delight. Meal deliveries and fully catered packages available.
Whether you’re looking to refine your technique, restore balance, or simply savour the joy of being in the mountains, Morzine provides the perfect canvas for a holiday tailored entirely to you. Step into your element and immerse yourself in the mountain experience you’ve been waiting for. To find a beautiful place to call home for your week in the snow, browse our curated collection of Morzine chalets, each offering its own charm—spacious living areas, cosy fireplaces, private hot tubs, stunning views and all the comforts you need.
