Overview
Alpine Soul invites you on an unforgettable 9-day journey through the heart of the Alps, exploring the very best of Tyrol, Austria, and the Dolomites, Italy.
From charming alpine villages and welcoming mountain guesthouses to unforgettable hut-to-hut adventures and breathtaking panoramic summits, this carefully curated experience blends iconic hikes, authentic mountain culture, and the freedom to immerse yourself in some of Europe's most spectacular landscapes.
Hike beneath the towering peaks of the Sellaronda, stand atop Piz Boè, wander through flower-filled alpine meadows, and enjoy time to relax, explore, or simply soak in the beauty of the mountains. Along the way, we'll share incredible meals, meaningful conversations, plenty of laughter, and the kind of moments that only happen when a small group of adventurous women experience the mountains together.
More than a hiking holiday, Alpine Soul is an opportunity to disconnect from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with nature, and experience the Alps through the eyes of a local guide who has called these mountains home for almost two decades.
Return home with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for the beauty, adventure, and spirit of the Alps.

What to Expect
-
Venture through the heart of the Austrian Alps, and Dolomites where every step unveils stunning peaks, lush valleys, and awe-inspiring panoramic views. From challenging summit ascents to peaceful village trails, our routes are designed to push your limits while allowing space for reflection and deep connection.
-
Experience the best of both Tyrol and the Dolomites as you journey through authentic alpine villages, welcoming mountain guesthouses, traditional huts, and a spectacular mountain resort. Savor regional Austrian and Italian cuisine, immerse yourself in local mountain culture, and discover the warmth and hospitality that make the Alps so unforgettable.
-
Coach K begins the day with optional grounding mountain yoga and breathwork sessions, designed to awaken your body and set the tone for the day's adventures. These practices help improve endurance, enhance recovery, and deepen your connection to nature. These sessions are weather pending and can only be done outside (except for the last day).
-
The mountains have a way of changing us.
Not because we're trying to fix ourselves, but because they invite us to slow down, breathe deeper, move with intention, and remember what really matters.
Over nine unforgettable days, you'll climb mountain passes, wander through alpine villages, laugh until your cheeks hurt, and experience the kind of connection—to nature, to others, and to yourself—that so often gets lost in everyday life.
You may come for the hiking, but don't be surprised if you leave with something far greater than photos and summit memories.

The ALPINE SOUL Difference
More than an experienced mountain guide, Karrie brings a unique blend of coaching, yoga, breathwork, and nervous system practices that naturally enrich the journey. Rather than leading a formal retreat, she intuitively responds to the energy and needs of the group, weaving in meaningful moments of reflection, movement, or conversation when they feel most valuable. Whether it's navigating fear on an exposed trail, building confidence before a summit, or simply creating space to pause and reconnect, her extensive experience allows her to support each guest with presence, compassion, and authenticity.

Looking to Go Deeper?
This fall, I'll be re launching the Mountain Summit Project—an optional mountain preparation and coaching program designed for those who want to prepare on a deeper level before the adventure begins.
Choose the level of support that's right for you:
Foundation
Weekly mountain-specific training
Strength, mobility, balance, and endurance
Breath training to improve breathing efficiency and CO₂ tolerance
Hiking education and preparation
Community support
Ascent
Everything in Foundation, plus:
Live group coaching
Yoga and recovery sessions
Nervous system regulation and somatic practices
Breathwork for performance, resilience, and presence
Group connection and accountability
Summit Elite
Everything in Ascent, plus:
Personalized mountain training plan
One-on-one coaching
Individual breathwork and somatic sessions
Ongoing support tailored to your unique journey
Whether you're simply preparing for an unforgettable hiking adventure or you feel ready to explore something deeper, there will be a level designed for you.
Many of the people I work with have spent years carrying an invisible backpack filled with responsibility, pressure, old stories, and the habit of always being the one who keeps going. The mountains offer a unique opportunity to set some of that weight down.
Through intentional training, breath, movement, coaching, and time in nature, you'll prepare not only for the trails ahead, but for a lighter, freer, more grounded way of moving through life.
More details about the Mountain Summit Project will be shared this fall.
