The world awaits and with it, endless hiking (and cycling), a new found appreciation for the wonders of travel, and a deep desire to be outside engaging. Our trips have become a way of life ... maximizing today, the moment, the full on experience. Welcome to 2026.
This year we are returning to some of our favourite places thanks to popular demand. And ... we're adding back a cycling trip because we've created something so special it has to be celebrated.
Our 2026 cycling trip to Provence is full of the extraordinaire thanks to the help of a local cycling guide who has put together an itinerary that captures it all - the thrill of the cycle, the awe of the landscape, the charm of the culture.
The West Highland Way, a 154km hike through the heart of Scotland, is indeed Scotland at its best. From countryside to loch-shores, open moorlands to steep mountains, lowlands to highlands ... it's invigorating, it's rich in texture, it's a "classic".
Patagonia, the most beautiful place in the world, is back and with it the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park, the bedazzling "frozen giants" of the Southern Ice Fields, and the wild & mystic Sierra Baguales. Patagonia is indeed a special place ... one of the last great wildernessess, untamed and dazzling.
The Via Matildica in Northern Italy is a discovery, a true gem. We're returning in the fall of 2026 for our 5th time. It's a remarkable trip: a hike/pilgrimage that delivers so much in the way of richness - history, scenery, culture, cuisine, moments and authenticity. It's a glorious way to explore a forgotten Italy.
Iceland, a trip requested by many, is coming back in 2027. The local Icelandic family that we've partnered with is thrilled ... the fun we all had in 2024 was special.
Spain, Ireland, and Canada's lesser known "east coast trail" ... it's all coming so ... keep on checking.
Our LOLA trips are transformative. There is nothing quite like a trip that exposes you to so much of what is important ... to truly living ... to the exhilaration of the physical, to the hilarity of play, to the beauty of nature. It's JOY ... living out loud while enjoying the camaraderie of others & the beauty of life.

Whether you climb Kilimanjaro or hike the West Coast Trail, LOLA offers you the chance to reconnect with the natural environment, with yourself and with others, and, in so doing, to discover that there is more in you than you realize.

The world belongs, and will always belong, to the people who participate.
Those who stand on the outside, who never risk, who never fail, cannot now,
nor will they ever, understand the beauty of each breath of life.
So don’t feel sorry for those who fail, feel sorry for the majority that never participate.
They’ll just never understand, let alone feel, all that life can and should be.
