Have you ever wanted to explore the world with a group of active, capable outdoorspeople? Or are you a trip-planning master hoping to share your skills and knowledge with a group of excited participants? Join us for our upcoming Global Adventures Info Session on November 1 to learn all about our program!
Dedicated Mountaineers volunteers have been leading trips around the world since the 1960s, involving many different activities and countries, and trips are gearing up again as pandemic restrictions ease.
In 2022 alone, our participants will have the opportunity to cross-country ski from hut to hut through Norway's stunning and expansive trail system, wake up in a backpacking tent to a sunrise reflection of a 11,500 foot volcano in a remote mountain lake, and explore the Japanese Northern Alps on exciting scrambles.
If you think you might love to experience active outdoor adventures with your fellow Mountaineers, or if you are an experienced Mountaineers leader and traveler who loves trip planning, our upcoming Global Adventures information session will give you a new and amazing outlet for all your adventure travel dreams!
