It all began at a survival weekend. Julia was chatting with a participant & she told her that she would love to go to the mountains but doesn’t know any other hiking enthusiasts. She simply didn’t know how to start and with whom! In the following weeks Julia also heard from women that had recently moved to Switzerland with similar issues. Another women told her that her family and friends do not share the same interests, and she doesn’t know how to find the right people. Some were overwhelmed with planning hikes or hiking by themselves. Julia did a quick research & realized there was no community for female outdoor enthusiasts in Switzerland yet – but other countries already had a lot of similar & popular initiatives. Meet Swissmountaingirls! 

Our community invites women from all different parts of Switzerland and gives them a platform where they can connect more easily to other outdoor enthusiasts. Who knows, we might live close by each other already. We regularly organize hikes where everyone can come along.
