About
Our mission
Our mission is to empower women ready to conquer their fears in the backcountry and grow through guided breathwork and yoga in the stunning scenery of Patagonia and BC.
To provide a space, through a uniquely curated mountain experience for women who like to challenge themselves mentally and physically in the mountains while grounding through yoga and guided breathwork.
To connect like-minded women across the globe in one week full of activities where they can push their limits, challenge themselves, and experience growth alongside other strong women.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

5***** “I went to Argentina with LUX in August 2024, and it was the most incredible experience. What made it so special was our fierce group of women & how Alenka brought us into her world and family. Backcountry skiing/splitboarding in remote areas, where everyone feels welcome and in the right environment to push yourself while feeling supported.”

5***** “Lux was a once in a lifetime experience, I don’t think there is anything else out there quite like it. I highly recommend and would definitely sign up again. I did the Argentina trip in 2024. The environment was very welcoming, whether you go with a friend or solo, and no matter your experience level. I am a fairly experienced splitboarder, and I learned so much, met so many new wonderful adventure friends, and every day was better than the last. Each day was a different beautiful area with a different skiing experience. Tremendous thanks to Alenka and our guide Klemen, they made the experience unforgettable.”

The group trip with all women in the context of a sport was an experience I highly recommend. I met strong, inspiring women along the way. A huge thank you to Alenka and Klemen for this amazing experience and for your guidance throughout. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! :-)”

5***** “I had the pleasure of joining LUX Snow for the Patagonia trip in 2024. The entire experience was a dream, and I can’t imagine doing it with anyone else but Alenka and Klemen. The depth of knowledge they have about the mountains and the Bariloche area made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m so grateful to have met the women who also ventured to Argentina for the trip and I’ll hold the memories near for a lifetime. If you want to push yourself and get to know a wild place, book a LUX Snow trip.”
