Every destination has a leader who lives within a day’s travel of the route and plans it with us each winter.

How we run trips, in plain numbers
We publish these each January for the year before. They are counts, not promises, and some years they go the wrong way.
12
Maximum group size on every departure, so we fit in family guesthouses rather than large hotels.
78%
of nights in 2025 were in locally owned places to stay, up from 71% the year before.
31
trips reachable by train from a major European hub. We list the rail route on each trip page.
$40
per traveller goes to a project picked by the local leader, shown on your final invoice.
2
trips paused in 2025 after leaders told us visitor numbers on the route had grown too fast.
Traveller notes
Written after the trip, not before
I booked the fjords trip on my own and was worried about the paddling. The training day settled that, and by day three I was the one asking for the longer crossing.
Our leader Youssef had us cooking tagine with his aunt. That afternoon is what we still talk about at home.
Level 4 means it. Hard days, very good huts, and the luggage transfer made it doable at 61.
