Summer 2026 is not just another chance to travel. It is a chance to experience the world differently.
This year, we head out on trekking journeys across four distinct regions. The Caucasus in Georgia, the Dinaric Alps in Bosnia and Montenegro, the Albanian Alps and Kyrgyzstan. Each destination brings its own character, its own pace, its own way of opening up to you. Because in the end, it is not just the views that stay with you, it is the trails you follow and the way the landscape reveals itself step by step. This is what makes hiking trips different. You do not just see a place, you get to know it through its nature, its people and its everyday rhythm.
If you are looking for something different this year, it starts with choosing the journey that feels right to you.
Fixed departures: 31 May - 7 June 2026 & 9 - 16 August 2026
In Svaneti, beneath the peaks of Shkhara, Tetnuldi and Ushba, we hike from Mestia to Ushguli, crossing one of the most authentic mountain regions of the Caucasus. Along the way, we pass medieval towers, UNESCO-listed villages, glaciers and experience a level of hospitality that is hard to find elsewhere. The journey culminates with a hike to the Shkhara Glacier and an overnight stay in Ushguli, one of the most unique mountain villages in Europe. Choose this trip if you want to experience the Caucasus in an authentic way, with guesthouse stays and moderate-level hiking.

At the foothills of the Tian Shan mountains, Kyrgyzstan offers a mix of alpine lakes, canyons, yurt stays and nomadic culture, combined with multi-day trekking in the Ak Suu region. From Issyk Kul Lake and the Mars and Fairytale Canyons to high mountain passes such as Boz Uchuk, Jergez and Ailanysh, the journey ends in the Altyn Arashan valley, known for its hot springs. Choose this trip if you are drawn to remote destinations, simpler accommodation and the feeling of walking through a landscape that still feels untouched.

In just five days, you experience the essence of the Albanian Alps. Valbona, Maja Rosit, Valbona Pass, Theth and the Grunas waterfall shape a journey that feels far more remote than it actually is. It is a short, accessible and well-rounded trip, combining strong hiking days with mountain villages and impressive alpine scenery. Choose this trip if you have limited time, want a high-intensity mountain experience and like the idea of a compact trekking adventure.
