Arc’teryx will offer immersive travel experiences designed to give participants unrivalled access to wild places through its new Arc’teryx Trips program. Launching next year and available for booking this fall, the Summer/Fall 2020 program features 11 guided, small group trips to wildly remote destinations around the world.
Each of the excursions in the Arc’teryx Trips program are centered around the main sports Arc’teryx makes products for, including mountaineering, trail running, rock climbing, and hiking/trekking.
Exploring the world with elite guides
Each meticulously designed experience will move active adventurers to the next level of technical expertise alongside like-minded explorers and professional guides.
All of the guides chosen to lead each trip were carefully selected by Arc’teryx, and all are either IFMGA (International Federation of Mountain Guides Association), ACMG (Association of Canadian Mountain Guides) or AMGA (American Mountain Guide Association) certified to ensure trip attendees receive the best in safety, local knowledge and skills development.
Ultimate product testing
“Arc’teryx is founded on the idea that there is always a better way”, said George Weetman, Vice President of Brand & Digital Commerce at Arc’teryx.
“Our products are designed with solutions for the outdoor elements in mind, and through our new Arc’teryx Trips program, we’re rethinking the way that people experience spectacular and remote destinations by providing an immersive experience to put our products to the ultimate test.”
