As women, it can be hard to find your tribe in the outdoors, especially in the backcountry. While some may dream of backcountry lines in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, most don't know where to start. Lux is here to get that trip you've been thinking of from manifestation to reality. Lux, the ultimate backcountry adventure for women.
Lux offers a week-long (8-day) backcountry adventure for women. With options in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere (Whistler, BC and Bariloche, Argentina), brace yourself to experience the backcountry in a new light. Allowing yourself to gain confidence and become more resilient in the bc. Lux is here to guide you to your full potential in conquering new backcountry lines.
Founded a few years ago, Alenka has competed on the freeride world tour qualifiers and challenger tour. In her free time, she is a base jumper and climber and lives mountain. She felt the need to share her incredible experience in the backcountry with other women. Noticing that women often had a difficult time planning bigger expeditions, she decided to take things into her own hands. Thus Lux was born. Since then Lux now operates in two continents throughout the year, offering women the ability to explore parts unknown that doing so solo would be an uphill battle (pun intended).
When you arrive, make yourself at home in the large house that is used as your "base" with you and your eight new girlfriends. With five days of touring/ riding, you head out into the high alpine. While on your journey, adventure to the huts to have direct access to dream ski lines. Which means more skiing, after all, isn't that what we all want?
With two ski guides, the groups often split themselves naturally based on ability and ski preference. Not AIARE certified yet? Don't worry; you'll be guided by professionals leaving all the planning, and navigating to them. All groups will go through an avalanche briefing at the beginning of the week. Get ready to enjoy a new sense of freedom while being supported by your group as you accomplish new goals.
Unwind your day with your new group of friends by finding your inner balance through a group session of yoga. Fest on meals that will fuel you up, ready to recharge you for your next day out. Rest and get ready to venture out in search of pristine snow.
This year Lux is offering two retreats in the summer of 2025 in Bariloche. One week for advanced or spicy backcountry riders and a week for those who are just being introduced to the backcountry.
