What we’re about

Girls with Altitude is a community built for women who crave the outdoors, challenge, and connection. We hike, laugh, and sweat together — exploring the trails around Victoria and beyond. This is about empowering each other — building stamina, confidence, and courage one hike at a time. Whether your dream is to reach Everest Base Camp, tackle Kilimanjaro, or simply find joy in moving your body in nature, we’re here to lift each other up along the way. There’s no pressure, no competition — just encouragement and shared adventure. All we ask is that you come with an open mind, respect for others, and care for the places we explore by always leaving no trace. We also encourage you to come solo or ready to meet new people — this is a space to create fresh connections and friendships on the trail. Together, we grow stronger, braver, and a little muddier — and we love it that way. 🥾✨

Sophie

Hiker by day, dog mum by night and in between an exercise physiologist

Hi, I’m Soph — a Swiss expat who now calls Australia home. After spending years in my early twenties fighting through ulcerative colitis, I’ve learned to never take movement for granted. Being able to challenge my body again — to climb, to sweat, to feel alive — is something I’ll never stop being grateful for. I’m an exercise physiologist with a deep love for the outdoors and all the magic that happens when women support each other on the trail. I miss the Swiss Alps deeply — those peaks will always be home — but my hope is that by creating this community, I can build a little piece of that feeling here: a sense of belonging, sisterhood, and shared adventure — a space where we can all feel a little more at home, together. And of course, there’s Sasha, my four-legged sidekick and better half. She’s my biggest cheerleader and a constant reminder to explore with joy. Girls with Altitude was born from all of this — a desire to reconnect, to push limits, and to find home again through community, challenge, and nature. 🤍
