Missing summer already?

The good news? It’s only 10 months until you could be right here.

Picture yourself hiking through the dramatic limestone landscapes of the Julian Alps, following mountain trails by day, settling into cosy alpine huts, and sharing the adventure with a small group of like-minded women. And finishing your trek in the cool waters of this beautiful mountain lake.

Our 2027 Slovenia hut-to-hut adventure is coming and and the waitlist is now open.

If this looks like your kind of summer adventure, join the waitlist to be the first to hear about dates and trip details.

Maybe 10 months doesn’t sound so long after all. 😉

Something every Trail Fit Club member will tell you: a little rain never put us off a hike!

Over the last 9+ years, we’ve only ever postponed one because of dangerously high winds.

Rain, shine, snow or sleet - we’re out. Sometimes we adapt the route, sometimes we find shelter, and more often than not we stop for cake 😉. But one thing is almost guaranteed: you’ll head home feeling better for having spent the day outdoors, in the fresh air and good company.

And it’s on mornings like these - standing on a platform at Munich Hauptbahnhof on a cold, damp winter morning, when most people would rather stay under the duvet - that something bigger is happening, too.

Without even realising it, you’re building resilience.

You’re proving to yourself that you can show up when conditions aren’t ideal. That you can do things that feel a little uncomfortable. That you’re capable of more than you might think.

It might not feel epic or heroic. But sometimes it’s these small, everyday acts of showing up that give us the confidence to step outside our comfort zone in other areas of life, too.

That’s part of what Trail Fit Club is all about: a year-round women’s hiking group in Munich, building fitness, confidence and outdoor skills while exploring the trails together in every season.

And let’s be honest… has anyone ever come home from a day in the mountains and wished they’d stayed on the sofa instead?

You probably can’t guess where this hike is…

The Alps? Maybe Austria? Somewhere in Switzerland?

Nope, it’s Slovenia. 🇸🇮

And if it wasn’t already on your hiking list, it should be after this! It's one of the most surprising mountain destinations I've explored in recent times.

Varied trails, alpine panoramas, wildlife galore, and landscapes that somehow feel like the Alps of 30 years ago.

It’s one of those places where every turn on the trail gives you another reason to stop and take it all in.

Would Slovenia have been your guess? 👇

Missing these summer days already. 🥾

Long days on the trail, mountain huts, views that made every climb worth it, and that feeling of having nowhere else you need to be. ✨

Looking back at some of our summer hikes has us ready to do it all over again.

Every trail was a little different, but that’s one of the things we love most about hiking in Europe. New landscapes, new places to stay, new people to meet, and plenty of moments you wish you could bottle up and take home with you. 🧚

For now, we’ll just be looking back at these. 💛

Which summer hiking destination would you happily go back to tomorrow?

Don’t pack up your hiking boots just because winter is on its way!

Did you know our Trail Fit Club women’s hiking group runs throughout the year?

The autumn and winter months are great to build fitness, confidence, learn outdoor skills and explore new winter trails around Munich with a wonderful bunch of international women.

Because, quite frankly getting outside in winter in great company is good for the body, the mind AND the soul.

With only 3 winter package spots left, don’t leave it too late to join us this winter on the trails!

DM me if you have any questions!

6 Tips for Hiking in Autumn 🍂

1. Layering: Pack for four seasons in one day (merino base layer, fleece mid-layer, insulation layer e.g. lightweight down/PrimaLoft), waterproofs and a lightweight hat and gloves for summits and descents.

2. Shorter days, early starts: Check sunset timing and adjust your tour length and planning to match. (Always pack a headlamp!)

3. Mountain huts: Check hut seasonal closing dates if you are relying on them for refreshment. Many close by late September/early October.

4. Traction: Crisp autumn nights can mean lingering frost on shaded, north-facing slopes. Pack micro-spikes if subzero night temperatures are forecast.

5. Orientation: When autumn inversions bring thick fog or cloud cover to valleys and lower slopes, navigation can become tricky. Plan your route carefully and make sure you have the necessary mapping tools and skills to ensure you stick to your trail.

6. Tea time: Bring a flask of tea for a warming break on a chilly summit.

🍁 Favourite things about autumn hiking:

• You don’t have to get up so early for a sunrise!
• Quieter trails
• Mystical morning mists and inversion weather
• Sipping hot tea on a chilly mountainside
• The colours, the colours, the colours!

How about you? What’s your favourite thing about this hiking season?

One of our lovely guests this year, told me they love 4elements so much, they don’t want to share the secret with anyone! We understand that feeling! ☺️✨

Whilst keeping a favourite tip a secret is tempting, reviews mean the world to us, as they help other like-minded adventure and nature lovers find their way to our trails and join these wonderful adventures.

Here are a few kind words shared by our guests this summer.

Have you joined us on a trek before?

Please do remember to leave a review on Google or Tripadvisor to share your experience!

We love nature. It’s our playground, it’s our classroom, it’s our sanctuary.

Our hikes and treks are never about just ticking places off a list.

They are specifically designed to give you time and space to genuinely connect with the environments that you are passing through.

To learn about the unique flora, fauna, geology.
To wonder and gaze in awe of nature’s beauty, resilience and abundance.
To leave the trail, feeling connected, inspired and empowered.

What’s the biggest thing that you’ve learnt from an adventure?

Dolomites Escape 2027: Last week, four wonderful women and I stepped beyond the popular paths of the Alta Via 1 and into the wilder side of the Dolomites.

For four days we explored the trails of Fanes-Sennes-Braies National Park - climbing above the clouds to incredible viewpoints, observing golden eagles, ibex and marmots, gazing (and quickly dipping) into crystal clear mountain lakes and enjoying the delicious local food and w**e along the way.

There were moments to gently push the edges of the comfort zone, but also plenty of time to slow down. Sketching, journaling and napping at the lakeside. Sharing delicious Kaiserschmarrn and Aperol on the sun terrace of our beautiful lodge. And lots of great conversation and deep belly laughter.

A little bit of adventure, a little bit of challenge, a lot of connection - time to simply enjoy being in these incredible landscapes and in the best company.

This is what our adventures at 4elements are about! 🫶
