Sustainability
Leave it better than you found it
How we travel lighter, repair more and give back to the places we walk.
Our promises
Four things we always do
- Trains firstEvery trip starts at a station you can reach by rail.
- Small groupsTen people at most, so we leave a light footprint.
- Free repairs for lifeOn everything we sell, at any age.
- 1% to trail workFrom every booking, to the people who look after paths.
Getting there
Most of our travellers arrive by train
Every trip has a suggested rail route from major European cities, and we time the first and last days so trains work. If you travel by train, we give you a free night at the start of your trip.
Giving back
Trails do not mend themselves
One percent of every booking goes to the volunteers and rangers who repair paths, bridges and huts. Last year that paid for 12 kilometres of path repairs in Scotland and a new hut roof in the Julian Alps.
