This group has some great local outdoorsy/adventure events.
As the main group leads for the group we do have some more involved adventures that take more planning than your average weekend hike or camping trip.
These are trek's to epic places. Bucket List Treks if you will.
Essentially there are 5 of them at the moment.
- Apr 25, 2025 Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek
- Aug 10, 2025 EPIC MACHU PICCHU via The Salkantay Trek
- Oct 12, 2025 Jordan: Dana to Petra Trek with bonus of Wadi Rum
- Jun 7, 2026 Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits.
- Nov 2026 Patagonia (in progress).
Our plan is to repeat in two year. For example EBC again in 2027
This means you can chose one for 2025 and then a different for 2026, and in 2027 . . . do what you missed.
We have two other "trek adjacent" events. While not actual treks . . . this are active and rugged mostly outdoors adventure events with snorkeling and water activities.

#### ALWAYS ALIVE
Length : 32 minutes
Director : Davina Montaz-Rosset
Original version#### For every person living in Chamonix, Mont-Blanc is an irresistible magnet. Known for her many achievements in trail-running, Hillary Gerardi is up for a high-altitude challenge: attempting a round-trip speed record on this iconic summit, starting from Chamonix’s Church. To achieve her goal, she will need to combine intense preparation with an in-depth knowledge of the terrain, which is constantly evolving due to climate change. A film that successfully blends environmental awareness and performance, delivering a burst of joy and emotion!
#### PAINTING THE MOUNTAINS
Length : 46 minutes
Director : Pierre Cadot
Original version#### Experience an amazing challenge : skiing down tiny patches of snow perched amongst the huge granite walls overlooking El Chaltèn. Guided by local photographer Matthew Tufts, Aurélien Lardy, Vivian Bruchez and Jules Socié only have one goal in mind: to push the limits of gravity to open news lines on these Patagonian giants. Combining commitment, friendships, and quite a few mates, this film will blow your mind. A kind of Free Solo on skis that you won’t forget anytime soon!
#### OF A LIFETIME
Length : 44 minutes
Director : Jérôme Tanon
Original version#### Within the De le Rue family, passion for freeriding is inherited from generation to generation. Almost turning 18 years old, the young Mila accompanied by her father Xavier and her uncle Victor (both three times freeride world champions) launches into her first expedition, to the magical land of Antarctica! After a long and stormy crossing in a sailboat, the crew reached the pure white continent, with its mountains of ice, its whales, its pinguins… If Xavier and Victor, more familiar with risk management, joyfully open amazing news lines, Mila will have to challenge her fears to fully embrace the adventure. A journey full of complicity, strengthening the trust between a dad and his daughter, and a skier to herself.
#### GROUND UP
Length : 36 minutes
Director : Chris Alstrin
Original version#### Let’s go for 8 days hanging in the middle of the mythical walls of Yosemite with Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn. Their goal : climbing Pineapple Express, a variation of El Niño’s route on El Capitan, starting from the bottom. This intense film allows us to feel the difficulty and the efforts needed to succeed in freeing such an extreme big wall. A mix of determination, perseverance, and a dazzling complicity give Amity and Brent the opportunity to surpass themselves both physically and mentally. An ode to climbing led by a fantastic duo!
