Gutsy Girls - Brighton

Discover the joy of movement and momentum on snow-covered trails in the heart of Sweden. With just the right mix of challenge and fun, this seven-night retreat is the perfect introduction to skate skiing.

Skate skiing is a full body work out, with your legs, glutes, and abs all working to generate speed! Don't worry though, you don’t need to be an athlete. Our expert instructors will guide you through the technique and help you find your rhythm.

Beyond the skis, you’ll snowshoe through silent forests, ride a snowcat to a mountaintop dinner, and—if you're feeling bold—plunge into a frozen lake before warming up in the sauna. It’s a week of challenge, action, and excitement in a winter wonderland.

Highlights
• Learn the fundamentals of skate skiing with supportive, expert coaching
• Explore snowy landscapes on guided snowshoeing adventures
• Restore and stretch with daily yoga sessions
• Ride a snowcat to a mountain hut for a magical dinner
• Experience the thrill of ice bathing followed by a traditional sauna
• Eat delicious meals and share stories with a group of like-minded women
