Trip Review

Set along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, this is a version of climbing most people never see. Limestone walls rising straight from the sea. Quiet bays you can only reach by boat. Mornings that begin with coffee on deck and end with saltwater still on your skin. Explore Croatia through the eyes of two people who know it deeply.  Luka Sarić brings local knowledge of the coast: its hidden anchorages, small towns, food, and rhythm. Luka Perunović, a lifelong climber and national champion, brings an intuitive understanding of movement, progression, and how to shape unforgettable climbing days. Together, they showed how sailing and climbing weave into something seamless: waking up somewhere new, climbing above the water, swimming between routes, and ending each day exactly where it makes sense. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a way of moving through Croatia that almost feels unreal. Until you see how it works.

The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world’s great hikes. A legendary loop through France, Italy, and Switzerland, framed by glaciers, high passes, and storybook Alpine villages.

As a lifelong mountain professional—raised in Chamonix by a mountain guide father and shaped by decades on skis and trails—Sébastien shares how the TMB can be experienced thoughtfully, comfortably, and still authentically. You’ll learn how hotel-based hiking allows for better sleep, balanced pacing, and deeper immersion in the landscape, without sacrificing the heart of the adventure. This session isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about doing the TMB well. If the Tour du Mont Blanc is on your list—but you want clarity before committing—this webinar is your first, reassuring step.

You clip into your bindings on a snowy ridge, the Arctic sun hanging low over the horizon. The landscape is endless: glaciers, peaks, and the dark blue of the ocean stretching into ice and sky.
