School Trips for Sports Teams

Rustic Pathways plans school travel programs for sports teams and physical education groups. These itineraries are built around being active, from ski weeks and alpine winter skills to treks and outdoor challenges.

Each program is a starting point. We adjust the dates, length and focus to your school’s learning goals. Open any program to see the day-by-day itinerary, or use the filters to narrow the list.

Days follow each sample itinerary and may include travel to or from the destination. Destination nights exclude flights and nights at home. Your proposal confirms the dates and overnight plan.
