Bredeson Outdoor Adventures offers guided and self-guided, culturally oriented hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and bicycling trips for all ability levels in Europe, the northeastern United States and beyond. Under the direction of founder Deborah Lewis, we specialize in custom trips for groups of friends, families, coed or women's groups (including Girlfriend Getaways), and major international adventure travel companies.

If you assemble your own group for a custom trip we can, in many cases, offer a discounted rate. If you prefer non-guided adventures we can plan a do-it-yourself (self-guided) trip for you. With self-guided trips we will book and pre-pay hotels, organize and usually pre-pay ground transportation, provide hiking maps and hike descriptions, and generally do everything for you except join you on the trip. Deborah combines her experience living abroad, knowledge of foreign languages and 30 years experience as a trip leader in Europe and the U.S. with an understanding of the high service requirements of her clientele. She personally guides many of her trips, often with the co-leadership of a local guide. Trips are based in hotels and guest houses, but we also offer overnight stays in high mountain huts for those who wish to have that authentic and exciting Alpine experience. Most departures involve day hikes and thus only a day pack.

The exceptions to this are such challenging treks as the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Haute Route that can require carrying a mid-sized pack. Our family trips have evolved from our personal experience taking our children on hiking trips to Europe and Vermont, and are appropriate for all ages and intergenerational groups. Deborah Lewis prides herself on her ability to make adventure travel safe and fun for “kids” of all ages. Our love of local history and culture pervades all of our outings and trips, and, along with our enthusiasm and great attention to detail, distinguishes our adventures.
