About Us
Who we are
Sara and Ginny, the WalkingWomen’s sisters team.
WalkingWomen has a strong legacy spanning more than 20 years. It has been owned and run by sister duo Ginny and Sara since 2021.
We champion women at every stage of our journey. Our female team is at the end of the phone when you book. All of our guides around the world are women. And we seek out and showcase women-led businesses – from women winemakers, to our hosts.
We recruit and nurture all our women guides, to ensure they have successful careers with good earning potential as mountain leaders. 60% of our guides are over 50. And our more experienced guides mentor others starting out.
Journey with us
WalkingWomen curates wonderful experiences to bring women together for walking adventures. We host holidays to challenge and connect, so you can explore and experience new places. And feel exhilarated, cultured and relaxed.
Run by women, for women. We are here for you wherever you are in the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is, and has always been, to provide a safe and welcoming space for women to explore and adventure. We walk, connect, revive. Together.
What is important to us
We believe in the importance of time away: to walk in nature, to connect with others, and to feel revived. Life can sometimes be tough, life can sometimes be stressful and sometimes we just want to get away. Our holiday experiences are well organised, well guided and give you the chance to relax. This is important to us.
We believe in new adventures that help us step out of busy lives and rigid routines to have time for ourselves. We want to support women to have great times together: to face fears, to build self-confidence, to try something new and simply to have fun. We are also here for those who have faced bereavement and loss and may need to find out how to holiday again in a supportive environment.
We are an inclusive company and welcome all women. Women may identify as LGBTQ+ whilst others may not. Our holidays are a place where women are not judged and can feel safe to be themselves.
We are passionate about supporting local communities and prioritising women-led businesses as our partners and suppliers if we can. We support women to take up guiding as a profession as we know what a fabulous way to work it can be – a lifestyle choice.
Wherever possible we will tread lightly on the planet and we encourage travel by train and local buses where possible.
At WalkingWomen we can provide so many adventures which help us all walk, connect and revive with nature and each other:
