our patron saint
St Pier Giorgio Frassati
A young Italian Alpinist from Turin and the Biellese Alps who died in 1925 at the age of 24, St Pier Giorgio led a short but full life of faith, family, friendships and adventure. During his university years and since his death, he has led the way for thousands of young adults around the world to seek and find God in the mountains.
our roots...
Indigo Mountain was born from a conviction: that the mountains are a privileged place of encounter with God.
Such experiences have deep roots. For many years, the Brothers and Sisters of St John have organised mountain and faith journeys for young adults and families across different countries, recognising these times as opportunities for growth in every dimension of life. Drawing from this living tradition, Indigo Mountain was created in 2023 and endorsed in 2025 as the outdoor apostolate of the European Province of the Brothers of St John, bringing this heritage into a unified mission.
Enriched by this experience, our trips invite young adults to step away from the ordinary, to be challenged both physically and interiorly, and to rediscover who they are before God.
We believe that in the silence, beauty, and demands of the mountains, minds and hearts open more readily—to prayer, to truth, and to authentic human connection.
