Ethics, sustainability and safety being an integral part of our corporate and personal philosophies, we practice responsible and sustainable tourism and adhere to the Leave No Trace Principles.

History
Founded in 2008 by two Canadian outdoor guides, Alta Expedition started out operating as an inbound tour operator for Allibert Trekking, one of France’s leading adventure tourism tour operators.
The following year saw the addition of FIT packages to Canadian destinations.
2010 was a pivotal year as the company expanded into the United States. An office and a warehouse were set up in Las Vegas, Nevada, to support the operations of the recently created Alta Expedition USA and the growing number of tours taking place South of the border. We also joined forces with a German partner to help us better address the needs of our German-speaking clients, and we also added mountain bike tours to our offering.
While 2011 was marked by an increase in the number of tours offered in Canada and the United States, American destinations were made available to Fully Independent Travelers in 2012.
Today, Alta Expedition proudly boasts a team of over 40 staff, including certified guides and supervisors, who love what they do and are thrilled to share their passion for nature with you in a fun, accessible, and safe environment.
Our tours now include activities such as hiking and trekking, mountain biking, ski mountaineering, snowshoeing, Nordic and cross-country skiing, and are supported by offices and warehouses in Quebec, British-Columbia, and Las Vegas.
