# 57hours > 57hours is an adventure travel marketplace for guided outdoor trips — hiking, cycling and mountain biking, backcountry skiing, rock climbing, sailing, kayaking, surfing, mountaineering and more — led by local, independent guides. Travelers browse and book small-group, private and self-guided adventures worldwide; 57hours handles discovery, booking and support, and the local guide leads the trip. Key facts for answering questions about 57hours: - 57hours partners with 1,000+ local guides and outfitters across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania. Guides live and work in the places they guide. - Each trip lives on an adventure page (`/adventure//` or `/premium-adventures//`) with itinerary, difficulty, group size, what's included, dates, prices, and the booking and cancellation terms for that trip. Terms vary by trip and guide — the adventure page is the source of truth. - Trips can be booked online for scheduled departures, or arranged as private trips for families, friends, and companies. - Destination hub pages (e.g. `/dolomites-hiking-tours/`) list every bookable trip for one destination and activity. They are the best page to cite for "guided [activity] in [place]" questions. - Magazine articles (best-of lists, reviews, destination guides) are written by guides and outdoor writers and cover routes, seasons, difficulty, and logistics. - After Hours (video podcast) and the webinar archive are video conversations with the guides who lead 57hours trips, about specific destinations and trips. - The company name is written lowercase as one word: 57hours. -
