Outdoor experiences to give as a gift

Outdoor gift ideas at Lake Garda: canyoning, via Ferrata and climbing for every level

You have no ideas? Do you already have everything? And you don’t want to give the usual gift that ends up in the drawer? Then think of the face when she/he unwraps your voucher and finds in it an outdoor day at Lake Garda with a local mountain guide.

An outdoor voucher is a gift idea for a birthday, a graduation, a moment to enjoy as a couple or with friends, to celebrate a milestone or simply to say “I’m thinking of you.”

For more than 25 years, my team and I have been accompanying beginners and passionate climbers on vie ferrate, at crags, and in the most beautiful canyons of Trentino and sharing with them an experience between lake and mountain that remains, even when one returns home.

Value voucher: the most flexible outdoor gift idea

Not sure what you would like? The value voucher is the easiest choice: you decide the amount, and the person who receives it can later choose which activity to try, when, and with whom.

How the voucher works

Yes, immediately after purchase you receive a PDF gift certificate to print or email. It contains the name of the activity you choose and all the instructions for redeeming it. It’s perfect even at the last minute.

With the value voucher you only choose the amount, and the recipient decides later what to do and when. If you give a gift of a specific activity instead, you decide what experience to have, but the person receiving the voucher can still change it if they prefer another activity.

The gift voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, but if due to bad weather, force majeure or organizational difficulties you are unable to use it within the year, we can extend it without any problems.

How to choose the right gift

Yes, in private courses the mountain guide is dedicated exclusively to the person (or small group) receiving the gift. No group to follow, just personalized time and attention.

No, no special athletic training is required for most activities. If the recipient of the gift voucher is active or has a willingness to get involved, they will find the right experience for their level.

Yes, even if you’ve chosen a specific activity, the recipient of the voucher can easily exchange it for another available one.

Sure. With the value voucher you only choose the amount, and the recipient can decide later what to do, when and with whom. This is the most flexible solution if you don’t know which activity you might like best.
