LaMunt X Chixxs On Board: Soul Trekking Community Event

What is Chixxs on Board?

 
Chixxs on Board is a women's mountain and outdoor school, which organizes activities aimed at women of all technical levels, using an approach that we fully share: ‘by women, for women’.  

Trekking, snowboarding, surfing and climbing are just some of the courses that can be attended by consulting the calendar on their website (click here).  There is no age limit to join the community, all you need is a great desire for adventure and fun.  

What does the ‘Community Soul Trekking’ event consist of?  

Let's start with an explanation of what we mean by ‘Soul Trekking’:

It is about going into the mountains. Connecting with nature and your ‘self’. Feeling the mountain and gaining clarity. Listening to the breath and admiring the landscape around us.

LaMunt's Soul Trekking is all about movement awareness. It is not the vertical meters that count, but the experience you are having.  

On 28 and 29 June 2024 the Community Soul Trekking event offers a double choice: you can choose to try your hand at a wonderful hiking trail or challenge yourself on a glacier trail for beginners.

Friday, 28 June: Departure from the valley station of the Urnerboden cable car, with which we will climb the first meters of altitude difference to the Fisetengrat. From there, we will begin our trek up to the Claridenhütte hut, tackling an altitude difference of around 620 meters, with a distance of 6.2 kilometers, and a walking time of around 3 hours.
Once we arrive at the Claridenhütte, at an altitude of 2453 meters, we will relax and participate in the various workshops organized around the hut.

At 15:00 there will be a workshop on glacier equipment, which is compulsory for those taking part in the glacier walk on the following day, but open to everyone. This workshop will explain the necessary equipment, how to use it, and provide useful tips on how to tackle the first glacier trek.

At 16:00 there will be two parallel workshops:

- Glacier tour planning: Alpine guide Ariane Stäubli will explain the differences between planning a glacier tour and planning a traditional hike.

- Planning a classic mountain tour: We will explore the best apps and tools to plan a route correctly and learn the basics of tour planning.

After the training, at 17:30 we will devote ourselves to the community. We will enjoy an aperitif offered by Claridenhütte and have the opportunity to show you our new Spring Summer24 collection.

Around 19:00, we will dine together in the hut and after dinner, there will be the BERGFRAUEN Talk at 2453 meters above sea level.
During the Talk, we will gather in the hut hall for a panel discussion with mountain guide Ariane, hut warden Angi and Ulrike the Marketing Manager of LaMunt. We will answer your questions, discuss the role of women in the mountains and future development, set common goals and inspire each other.

Saturday 29 June: Participants will split into groups: some will leave for the glacier trek before sunrise, while the other group will participate in a final workshop in the morning on the topic ‘ICE TIME AND CHANGE IN OUR ICE’ with a hiking guide and geologist Fabienne.

Useful information: To participate, you just need to love the mountains and be curious to learn new things! You need to be sure-footed and enjoy hikes of about 3 hours. Reserve a place for you and your friends(click here)!
