Hiking in Eleven’s Remote Landscapes
At Eleven, outdoor adventures are a way of life. Our hiking offerings are a chance to truly connect with the natural beauty, cultures, and landscapes around our remote lodges. Whether a far-flung heli-accessed hike or a trail from the doorstep, every outing is fully tailored to enhance your experience.
Experience Hiking with Eleven
From the Rockies to the Alps, our hiking guides take you deep into untouched landscapes. With picnics and other on-trail amenities, we’ll customize the entire hike.
Deplar Farm | Iceland
Explore the wild landscapes of the Troll Peninsula with our knowledgeable guides. From serene paths near the lodge to challenging peak ascents, there’s a trail for everyone. A favorite is the hike from Deplar Farm to Ghost Farm, a steep backcountry route that crosses glacial snowfields, winds along a river, and finishes with games and après at our rustic outpost.
Scarp Ridge Lodge and Sopris House | Colorado
Choose from an impressive variety of hiking options, from gentle, wildflower-lined trails to steep, high alpine passes. Guides elevate the experience, sharing local ecology, pacing the trek, and ensuring a seamless adventure from start to finish. Take on the legendary Aspen-to-Crested Butte hike, a sought-after route through aspen groves and over the 12,490-foot West Maroon pass.
Chalets Hibou and Pelerin | France
Trek through alpine meadows, past waterfalls, and beneath jagged peaks where ibex roam. Hike from France to Italy, stopping along the way at our private huts to fuel up on local cheeses and Génépi. With local guides—many from generations of alpine explorers—you’ll uncover the rich history of the Alps’ pastoral life and deep-rooted mountain culture.
Rio Palena Lodge | Chile
Venture into one of the planet’s last true frontiers, where trails are rare, and solitude is guaranteed. Fly to a high alpine ridge for a panoramic trek above glaciers and untouched valleys, or hike through ancient forests to hidden waterfalls. Andean condors, frogs, and wild rivers shape this raw landscape.
Taylor River Lodge | Colorado
Hike through the West Elk Wilderness, a remote expanse of aspen groves and rugged peaks. The Mill Castle Trail is a hidden gem, winding past towering canyon walls and beaver ponds toward dramatic rock spires. Our guides will lead the way to the best spots based on the season, whether it be finding the best wildflowers in summer or yellowing aspens in the fall.
Cedar Lodge | New Zealand
Explore New Zealand’s forested valleys, glacial river banks, and rugged ridgelines with expert guides. Opt for a heli-hike to access even more remote wilderness areas with the option to end your journey with a high-speed jet boat ride. Whether lodge-based or deep in the wild, every route delivers a stunning blend of adventure, solitude, and scenery.
Eleven Revelstoke Lodge | Canada
Hike through old-growth forests, alpine meadows covered in wildflowers, and ridgelines with sweeping views of the Selkirk Mountains. For the ultimate adventure, heli-hike to a remote peak to find glacial cirques and panoramic overlooks. With terrain ranging from gentle strolls to rugged peak ascents, Revelstoke offers a hiking experience as wild as the landscape itself.
Hut-to-Hut Hiking in the Alps
Embark on an Eleven-style multi-day hut-to-hut adventure through France and Italy’s most spectacular alpine terrain. From French Savioe, hike through flower-filled meadows, mountain passes, and clear rushing creeks with the option to add on e-biking and via cordata. Spend each night at one of our historic stone huts, with candlelit dinners, local génépi, and cozy accommodations.
Colorado
Aspen to Crested Butte Hike
Experience the Rocky Mountains’ greatest day hike with our Crested Butte lodges at the finish line. From the famed Maroon Bells wilderness in Aspen, this 10-mile trail quietly winds through pine and aspen forests and along mountain streams and lakes. It tops out on West Maroon Pass and descends through wildflower meadows, before finishing in Crested Butte and the welcome amenities of our lodges.
