Not Just a Trip. A Different Way of Being in the Mountains.

Athara Adventures was created by three women who believe that time in the mountains can do more than offer beautiful views. Our walking and cycling holidays, retreats and coaching experiences are designed to help people reconnect with themselves, their values and the natural world.

Each experience blends thoughtful conversation, shared adventure and time for reflection, creating journeys that are both invigorating and deeply grounding. Whether you join us for a mountain holiday in Europe, a reflective retreat or a coaching experience, you will find the same intention at the heart of Athara: helping people live with greater clarity, courage and connection.

    Scarlet Francis

  • "Sara, Seeoka and Anna are terrific guides for this area. While not French, they are of this place and feel it in their bones. The history they shared added a lot to the trip’s value for me. They are also very kind accommodating, and accomplished. The hotel was cozy and food was fabulous., breakfast and dinners."

    Sandra S

  • "Athara Adventures put on an absolutely amazing experience for us in France. We did the level one hike which was for beginners and they made it very doable for us. They were professional and very accommodating. Our bnb’s were beautiful and adorable. I highly recommend taking a trip with Athara Adventures, no matter your experience in the out doors. It’s a trip of a life time."

    Carrie Elizabeth

    Debra Chaloux

  • "Our hike in the Pyrenees was wonderful! The Athara team did a great job on the logistics - the Inn, food and hospitality were wonderful. They also had deep knowledge of the area selecting interesting and varied hikes while also weaving in Medieval and WW2 history. Highly recommend for a customized, outstanding adventure!"
