THE MOUNTAIN TREK STAFF

We attribute our program’s success and service awards to our amazing staff, who nurture and care for your every need from the moment you arrive. Former Park Rangers lead our hikes, world-class chefs and nutritionists design and prepare your meals, and kinesiologists, yoga instructors, and therapeutic massage practitioners ensure every aspect of your body is well taken care of. The Mountain Trek team cares deeply about you and your health—it is our passion.
