Leadership Trail
After 12 years of creating unforgettable programs, we are proud to offer, in collaboration with experienced facilitators Quirine Pleyte and Gijs Groeneveld, an extraordinary Otro Leadership Expedition. Five days in the rugged, untouched Italian Alpes overlooking the Monte Rosa Massif designed to strengthen and elevate your (personal) leadership.
Otro Elements Expeditions was born from a dream: creating a Wilderness School. A place where impact-makers, innovators, leaders, and changemakers (all simply human) come together. A place to pause, step out of the patterns of daily life, and draw inspiration from the power of the mountains. Here, we create space for personal growth, groundbreaking ideas, and the courage to drive real change.
DATES 2025
18 - 22 June

THE ROUTE
Our journey begins in a small mountain village called Rassa,, a place where time seems to have stood still, far removed from civilization. From there we head for our basecamp Alpe Selvaccia. We leave behind the last traces of luxury and delve deeper into the adventure, traveling to remote, silent, and elevated corners of the Alps, guided by our skilled and resilient Italian mountain guides.
THE PROGRAM
You will go through an intense process with the group to nurture and strengthen your leadership qualities. Through an experiential program in pristine nature you will learn:
⁃ To deepen your understanding of your motivations, behaviors, and values while honing your unique strengths;
⁃ To harness the transformative power of nature to inspire growth and self-discovery;
⁃ To build resilience and manage your energy better;
⁃ To cultivate authentic connections and impactful compassionate leadership through transparent communication and active listening;
- … and so many things we don’t know yet!
We focus on powerful and purposeful action to scale your impact.
