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

Athara Adventures is owned 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: creating space for people to live with greater clarity, courage and connection.

Unforgettable Experiences with Athara

"Between the breathtaking scenery, the enriching activities, and the opportunities for genuine self-improvement, this experience exceeded all expectations. I left feeling inspired, refreshed, and grateful. I can’t recommend this stay highly enough—truly exceptional in every way."

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
"Athara Adventures Pyrenees hike was a complete experience including wonderful trails through picturesque landscapes, delicious cuisine and comfortable lodging in an excellent inn. Anna, Sara and Seoka guided the adventure with a caring and supportive spirit, local knowledge and outdoor expertise. I highly recommend Athara and their guides for a wonderful experience."

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!"
