About Us

Connection, Community, and Calm in the Chaos.

HELVETII is an outdoor experiences company built around meaningful connection, shared challenge, and time spent properly unplugged in nature.

We create and host epic outdoor hiking experiences designed to bring people together - not just to reach summits, but to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover joy one step at a time.

Whether it's a local day hike or a multi-day Hikeaway, every HELVETII experience is built with the same intention:

Creating trips so good you won't just remember them, you will be counting down the days to your next one!

The HELVETII Experience

All HELVETII trips are:

  • Carefully planned and risk assessed
  • Led by trained, trusted event leaders
  • Focused on community, inclusion, and good energy
  • Designed to feel professional, safe, and genuinely social

As HELVETII grows, we work with a small team of regional leads and facilitators who deliver experiences in line with our values, standards, and approach — so wherever you join us, you can expect the same HELVETII feel.

This allows us to run events across the UK while maintaining the quality and trust our community expects.

Our Story

HELVETII was founded by James and Mike, two friends brought together by a shared love for the outdoors — and a shared understanding of how powerful time in nature can be.

Like many people, both founders experienced periods in life where the outdoors became more than just adventure. It became a place to breathe, reflect, heal, and reconnect.

Through hiking, they found clarity, confidence, and community — and wanted to create a space where others could experience the same.

What started as a few shared walks has grown into a community of people who come together to move, talk, laugh, challenge themselves, and support one another.

More than the Founders

While HELVETII was born from James and Mike's journey, it is now much bigger than any one person.

HELVETII is about:

  • The people who show up
  • The leaders who guide experiences
  • The conversations on the trail
  • The shared moments at the end of a long day

Our goal is to build a community-led outdoor brand that people trust — wherever and whoever they hike with.

Looking Ahead

As HELVETII continues to grow, our focus remains the same:

  • meaningful experiences
  • strong leadership
  • a welcoming, inclusive community

We're building something long-term — a community that you will be a part of for life!

Let's explore the outdoors together!
