Mountain

---

Join us this season as a member of our high-altitude Mountaineering expedition to one of the great mountains of the world! Let us help you stand on the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa! Climbing from Kilimanjaro’s rain-forests to its glacier capped 19,340’ summit is simply an unforgettable experience. 

Enjoy the support of Off Trail’s fantastic local mountain staff as we partner with the longest operating company on the mountain. This ensures our team benefits from fresh clean food, comfortable camps, and the portage of all gear; leaving you carrying only light day packs throughout the climb. Using the Marangu Hotel as our base camp and their exclusive guides ensures fair treatment and wages for the high-quality porters. 

Join our Canadian military veteran guides as they  provide you with unparalleled service on two different routes; The Rongai and the Marangu route. You will be greeted by your Off Trail team at the Airport and shuttled to the Marangu Hotel where we will spend the night before departing for the park gate the next day.  

ROUTES

RONGAI: Hike through the soaring rain-forests and sleep among the giant heather of the Rongai Route; a more varied and less traveled option to the standard “Coca-Cola Route” of Kilimanjaro. With camping accommodations, this 6-7 day route takes us from the North side of Kilimanjaro and descends the Marangu route giving you a wide variety of vistas throughout the trip. 

MARANGU: This route is the most popular and oldest on the mountain due to its direct nature and the availability of large dormitory style huts with bunk beds. This 5-6 day route starts mere kilometers from our hotel and ascends and descends the same way.

Join us this season as a member of our high altitude Mountaineering expedition to one of the great mountains of the world! Let us help you stand on the top of Aconcagua, the highest summit in the Western Hemisphere! We will be using the 360 traverse route starting on the south-eastern side of Aconcagua and descending the south west side giving us the exposure to new views every day.

With our local Argentina staff completing the Off Trail Team you enjoy the security and comfort provided by guides with upwards of 20 years experience on the mountain. On A big mountain like Aconcagua it is the small details that make the difference between sucess and struggle. From the camp sighting, local foods, right up to the high tech communications support, we have everything covered.

Our 18-day schedule allows enough time to comfortably acclimatize while on the mountain to give us the best chance of reaching the summit while also being able to actually enjoy the ascent! This schedule includes  2 extra days in case of inclement weather, if extra rest days are required, to extend the summit window, to deal with potential logistical issues and other unforeseen events, or to do some extra side trips along the way.

With the close proximity to Vancouver and Whistler, easy access to the Coast Mountains of British Columbia make for the perfect weekend escape. Come experience mountaineering in a very attainable way with objectives and adventures tailored to everyone. 

We will meet you in Vancouver and transport you to the backcountry with the location based on your personal objectives. The large variety of objectives and breathtaking terrain really lends itself to introductory mountaineering trips, alpine hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing.

Let us plan a mountain experience completely tailored to your own level of experience and your expectation of comfort. From weekend trips to multi day excursions we can develop a plan to suit your objectives.
