With Otter, every detail is handled and every experience is designed so that your energy stays focused on adventure, connection, and relaxation.
Accommodations
Otter’s thoughtfully selected accommodations include luxury boutique inns and private estates that embody the true character of the region and meet or exceed 4 to 5-star standards. Equipped with spacious social spaces to engage with other travelers, decadent private nooks for downtime and rejuvenation, premium products and amenities, and fast, reliable WiFi, you’ll find a blend of luxury, character, and comfort where every guest feels perfectly at home.
Dining
We design all of our meals to cater to active athletes with discerning palettes while highlighting unique local fare. Food is plentiful with options to satisfy a wide range of tastes and dietary needs. We source food locally and seek organic ingredients where possible.
Trips generally include daily hearty breakfasts with diverse offerings and made-to-order espresso, lunches and nutritious snacks, Après festivities, including varied offerings of satisfying appetizers and signature cocktails, craft beers, and local wines, and gourmet dinners at our favorite local restaurants, renowned culinary establishments, or prepared in-house at private estates.
Transportation
From the moment you arrive, Otter ensures every transfer is seamless, comfortable, and perfectly suited to your adventure. Airport pick-ups and drop-offs are provided in luxury AWD SUVs or vans, so your journey begins and ends with ease. On bike tours, a dedicated support vehicle follows the day’s route - stocked with refreshments, ready to assist with mechanical issues, and always available if you’d prefer a lift. Daily activities include private transportation to and from each experience, eliminating the stress of logistics. And when you’d like to explore independently, we offer ad hoc local transfers whenever possible, or happily arrange trusted transportation on your behalf.
Gear
Otter provides premium gear so you can focus on the adventure, not the details. For cycling tours, you’ll ride carbon bicycles with high-end components, carefully fitted to your preferences and the day’s terrain. Prefer your own bike? Ship it ahead, and our team will receive, assemble, and tune it so it’s ready when you arrive. For trekking and mountaineering, we supply top-quality technical gear to ensure comfort and safety. Each day, your equipment is cleaned, tuned, and stored so it performs flawlessly from start to finish. And of course, you’ll receive complimentary Otter gear and a curated swag bag to make your experience more memorable.
Bells & Whistles
Every Otter journey is about more than the day’s adventure—it’s about balance, restoration, and connection. Start mornings with guided yoga sessions to center body and mind before heading out. After a day on the mountain or trail, indulge in therapeutic massages to restore energy for tomorrow’s adventure. Evenings often highlight the local spirit of place through curated experiences: intimate trunk shows by regional artisans, engaging talks or demonstrations, inspiring gallery walks, or wine tastings that showcase the best of the area. These experiences add an important dimension to your unforgettable journey.
