Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.

Planet

Carbon Reduction

This trip is mostly human powered as we trek on foot, greatly limiting our emissions. Food is locally sourced that we bring with us an we don't burn any of the rubbish, preferring to bring it back down the mountain so that it can be disposed of properly.

Environment and Wildlife

In 2018, we took the Travelers Against Plastic (TAP) pledge to help fight the harmful consumption of single-use plastics through our operations. Water bottles are a huge part of this so we ensure you have access to filtered or boiled water. All you need do is bring a water bottle and purifying tablets should you wish to be additionally cautious.

We ask you to use biodegradable products (soaps, shampoos, insect repellent and anything that might enter the local environment).

And, our team in Albania will give you the opportunity to use reusable lunchboxes throughout your trip so as to be able to avoid wrapping picnic lunches in single-use plastics.

We firmly believe that challenge events are one of the most worthwhile activities that a person can choose to do. They combine the exercising of the desire to challenge oneself, with fundraising for worthwhile charitable causes and discovering some of the world’s most treasured sites. As part of this, we believe that for any trip to be worth running, it should be carried out in a sustainable, ethical and transparent operational manner - from initial booking, to your return home, and we are committed to ethical and sustainable practices in all areas of our work.

We’re proud to be one of the few B-Corporation certified tour operators in the UK. Certified B Corps are a new kind of business, balancing profit with people and the planet. This certification recognises our ongoing commitment to operating responsibly across all parts of our business.

People

Local Economy

We firmly believe that all challenges should be locally led, which is why our in-country teams are made up of local people with expert local knowledge and a genuine passion for the communities in which they are based. This also means that more of the money that you pay for your trip goes directly back into the local community.

On this challenge we'll visit three countries - each with its own culture, traditions and customs.

We'll also ensure that you have the opportunity to experience the local cuisine as not only is eating a big part of any trip, it's also vital to stay fuelled up whilst trekking! The local restaurants that we use will further help money flow back into the communities that we're visiting.

Our partners in Albania support two different projects to help bring economic benefits to the rural areas of the country that we'll be visiting. They'll be happy to tell you more about how you can help their efforts too!

All of our challenges have one thing in common: they're all designed to raise as much money as possible for some of the world's most worthwhile charitable causes, and our fundraising packages are built on an industry-standard 50:50 fundraising ratio with this in mind. We’re extremely proud to be part of a growing movement which helps to nurture the dedicated fundraisers of tomorrow for our partner charities.

We've helped our participants raise over £20m for charitable causes over the years and this is perhaps the most obvious example of how our business was created with purpose at its roots.

It’s not mandatory to fundraise so absolutely anyone can join our challenges. However even you elect to self-fund, we’d always encourage you to consider raising some money on the side!
