Tour provider's comments

Although our activities will include day hikes and an introduction to rock climbing, we suggest being in decent physical shape to fully appreciate each day. There's no need to be an expert—just bring enough energy to enjoy the hikes, soak in the breathtaking views, and tackle a bit of rock scrambling.

As long as you can walk on uneven ground, carry a small daypack, and maintain a positive mindset, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy all the exciting outdoor experiences we have planned. We’ll ensure everything moves at a beginner-friendly pace, allowing you to focus on the adventure without feeling overwhelmed.

Prepare to challenge yourself a bit—but nothing too extreme. The aim is to savor every step, climb, and stunning vista along the journey!

The minimum age to join this tour is 18 years old.

4 nights

You will spend 4 nights in a fully converted school bus with all facilities inside. 

This is a fully equipped, off-grid mobile basecamp. We’ve got everything you need to live your best wilderness life: private bunk beds (for all the beauty sleep you need after a day of epic hikes), a kitchen to cook up some chef’s kiss meals, an onboard toilet and shower (yes, you can actually clean up), and a wood stove to keep things toasty when the wild gets chilly.
Oh, and did we mention the rooftop? Yep, you can chill up top, soak in insane views, and maybe even do a little stargazing.
We’ve also got the gear to turn your adventure into an action-packed thrill ride: slacklines, packrafts, paddle boards—you name it. Daily hikes? You bet. Prepare to disconnect, explore, and embrace your inner wild side.

    We did some ice climbing with Raphael, and it was truly amazing. We had such a great time! He was really good at teaching us how to do it.

    I recently went on a hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains with Raph as our lead guide, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life! His deep knowledge of the mountains, combined with his professionalism, made the journey both safe while learning new facts along the way. Besides that, Raph created such fun vibes in the group that it felt like an adventure with close friends. Sharing stories while being surrounded by breathtaking scenery made this trip unforgettable. I highly recommend Raphael to anyone looking for an amazing outdoor experience!
