All Lux Snow Retreat packages include 8-day / 7-night group retreat for women, with backcountry riding, avalanche awareness, cold water therapy, and fear management techniques. We also host yoga classes and meditation. Our retreat packages include accommodation, meals, wellness therapies, workshops, yoga sessions, and boat tours…

Absolutely! Around 80% of our guests are solo travelers. Most of our guests make new friends, staying in touch long after their retreat finishes. Lux Week is an ideal place to come as a solo woman traveler.

You will book flights to fly into Buenos Aires, Argentina, and another one to Bariloche (we can assist with booking flights). You can arrive on the day the retreat starts and we will provide complimentary airport transfers on the first and last dates of the retreat. Also, you can choose to arrive before the retreat starts. We are happy to provide you with pre-retreat hotel booking support, so you can get picked up from the airport when you arrive (for an additional fee). Then we can provide a complimentary pick you up from any hotel that lies within our pick up zone on the first day of the retreat. We can make your trip to Argentina and Lux Snow Retreat a seamless experience where all you have to do is show up and enjoy! Please note that any accommodation arranged pre and post-retreat is not included in the retreat rate.

Typically, our Lux Snowboard retreat guests are women around 29 – 45+ and come from all around the world. We also have older and younger women on every retreat…. and all have loved their time here. Our guests come from all walks of life; different age groups, nationalities, sizes, backgrounds, and goals, and we do all we can to foster an inclusive environment so that everyone is welcome and feels like part of the Lux family. What unites guests at Lux Snow Retreats is not so much age or nationality; but rather, a fun-loving attitude and spirit for adventure, and all the wisdom they share with each other. We respect all our guests’ varied religions and orientations. While we are a women’s retreat (with only female guests) we do have drivers, security, and guides. Our spa team is all female and our main retreat hosts are also female, yet it is not 100% a women-only environment.

Make sure you pack clothing that is warm and durable! A pre-trip packing list will be provided to you when you book. Key items to bring to LUX WEEK are your ski clothes, snow boots, mitts, and beanies, avalanche equipment and a big )at least 40L backpack)… yoga/gym wear, light pajamas, and personal toiletries, device chargers. We provide bath and beach towels. We recommend you travel with your own snowboard gear but we do have splitboards and snowboards to rent! Some really good sunglasses and sun protection are a must!

Our activities are tailored to active women who typically spend a lot of time outside! Throughout the week we will do boat access backcountry snowboarding, resort snowboarding, daily yoga sessions, and cold water exposure therapy. While we welcome all guests and personalize each experience to each one of you, this isn’t a relaxing holiday. We ask you to take responsibility in self-assessing if our retreat activities may suit you. Please feel free to ask for more information from our team about any specific activities we offer.

Keep in mind that you will be expected to:

• hike for 4+ hours with a 20-40 lbs backpack
• do multiple runs in a day
• carry your own food, water, avalanche equipment and clothing
• carry overnight stuff to the backcountry hut
