seek higher places
Join Indigo Mountain for unforgettable group hikes, climbing trips, and spiritual adventures that blend faith and nature.
Adventures and Faith Combined
Our Mission
Indigo Mountain takes youth and families into the mountains of Europe to grow as humans and to explore the Catholic Faith. Mountains point our hearts and minds upwards and moving through, up and down them is an endeavour which involves body and soul and helps us discover purpose and resolve for higher things
Autonomous trekking
An ongoing project to hike long-distance mountain trails in Europe. These 8-day treks are fully autonomous, ie. all we need is in our rucksacks. Because they are fairly long trails, it's a great chance to immerse in nature, give the spiritual some room to breath, and experience your strength to cover ground.
Trekking & survival skills
This trek is for men aged 18-35.
We'll complete a 3 day trek through the mountains on snow shoes or skis, sleeping 2 nights in self-made snow shelters and learning skills for creating and maintaining warmth and path finding in winter conditions. If you're afraid of this kind of adventure, come and discover your courage.
Snow shoe/ski touring
Winter in the mountains (not on the ski-slopes) is a unique experience. We trek for 3 days through deep snow with snow-shoes or back-country skis, creating warmth at night and getting past fears of the unknown, experience the mid-winter silence and the capacity we have for endurance.
Alpine mountaineering
In a period of 5 to 7 days in the summer season, we climb 3-4 summits in 1-2 day Alpine-style climbs. Sleeping in tents, bivouacs or back at the hut, the aim is to reach the tops, see the views and learn climbing skills along the way.
Climbing for summits teaches us the need and worth of engaging in worthy battles with ourselves.
The Brothers of St John are a religious order within the Catholic Church. For the past 50 years we've been organising outdoors youth camps and trips as a part of our mission. We're strong believers in human nature's capacity to (re-)discover ultimate good things, and God in particular, the north we all seek.
