Seventy-two-hour expeditions · Across Europe

An entire expedition,
in seventy-two hours.

Multi-sport weekend expeditions for people who actually train. Out Thursday night, home Sunday — emptied out and quietly transformed. We solve everything but the effort.

For people who feel most at home outdoors — moving, with good friends, deep in an adventure.

The idea

A real adventure
that fits a weekend.

Most adventure travel asks for a week you don't have — and most of it is sightseeing with a gentle walk attached. The serious stuff swings the other way: one mountain, one guide, one discipline, all day.

We built the thing in between. Three days, several sports, genuinely demanding — designed around a moment worth flying for, with every transfer, bed and booking already solved. You bring the fitness. We bring the rest.

The format

Why seventy-two.

72°
Hours, not weeks

The whole point

Arrive Thursday night, fly home Sunday evening. A full expedition inside the gap your job actually allows — no annual leave required.

Three sports

Never one note

We string together two or three disciplines so each weekend reads like an experience, not a training block.

Nothing to arrange

Entirely handled

Guides, gear, transfers, lodging, the right meal at the right hour. You think about nothing but the next pitch, paddle or climb.

The weekends

Six departures.
One nerve each.

Expeditions · Long form

When a weekend
isn't enough.

A separate, occasional series for when you want to go further — the same genuinely-sporty, multi-sport spirit as the 72-hour weekends, stretched into a proper journey.

Formosa

East coast & high mountains, Taiwan

Ten days circling the wild side of Taiwan: days on the road bike along the Pacific coast and the island's legendary climbs, days in the surf off the east-coast breaks, and days hiking the marble canyons and peaks of Taroko. One country, three sports, properly deep.

Who it's for

Not for everyone.
On purpose.

i

You train. Hours on your feet, in the saddle or on the water don't scare you — they're the point.

ii

You're time-rich on weekends, time-poor on weeks. A clean Thursday-to-Sunday is the only way this fits.

iii

You'd rather pay to have it handled flawlessly than coordinate guides, gear and logistics yourself.

iv

You travel solo or with one or two others, and you like the company of people cut from the same cloth.

The room
Small groups of genuinely fit, interesting people — the kind with a serious job on Monday and a serious appetite for the wild by Friday night.

Who's behind it

Built by someone who
needed it to exist.

I'm Lisa — 42, and a lifelong multi-sport addict. I've been organising adventures outdoors since I was small, from hiking and mountaineering to long days on the bike, always coming back to the same truth: being out in the wild with good people is the most fulfilling thing on the planet.

Along the way I've climbed mountains in Africa and Iran, raced long-distance cycling, trained as a mountain guide in the Swiss Alps and led introductory ice-climbing camps — and right now I'm chasing my first proper barrel before I turn 50.

I love sport, but I love being challenged at work just as much. So weekends are my adventure in the outdoors; weekdays are the adventure at my desk. Both have equal right to exist. SEVENTY·TWO is the journey that never existed for me — and I'd love to take you on it, so we come home Sunday night fully charged for another week in office land.
