A different point of view.
GO BEYOND.
Places that quiet the noise.
Trails that make you want
to see a little further.
[ THE CALL OF ELSEWHERE ]
Some places
just stay with you.
A road that ends at the water. A trail between the pines. Light slipping behind a ridge. Ailleurs brings together reasons to get away, whether for an afternoon or a little longer.
Our point of view[ 01 — THE ESCAPES ]
THREE HORIZONS.
ONE CALL TO GO.
From Italian peaks to Norwegian shores.
Choose where your journey begins.
Places to discover. Journeys to imagine at your own pace.
[ 02 — YOUR NEXT DETOUR ]
HOW WILL YOU
FIND YOUR WAY OUT?
A lake, a crossing, an evening in the mountains.
Three ways to find a different rhythm.
TIME TAKES A BREATH. THE ART OF TAKING YOUR TIME
Nowhere to rush.
Somewhere to simply be.
A quiet shore, a little mist and a whole morning ahead. Sometimes the best plan is the one that leaves room for nothing at all.

LESS, BUT BETTER.GO EXPLORE.
TAKE YOUR TIME.
THEN GO AGAIN.
Cold air on your cheeks. The first light on the mountain. A silence that is never quite silent.
We believe in journeys that leave room to breathe. The kind where you walk a little slower and look a little further. You do not need to cross the world to step outside the everyday.

EVERYDAY.

A few ideas to take along with you.
A MOMENT HELD STILL TAKE IT IN · THE JOURNAL
As daylight fades, the mountain finds another voice
The best half hour in the mountains happens after everyone has packed up and started walking down. A case for staying.Read it now.
Live it later.
SLOW DOWN
What we rediscover when the city falls asleep
There is a window between waking and the day starting properly. Outside, it lasts a lot longer.
FIELD NOTES
Travel light. Come back with more
We prepare for trips by adding things — stops, plans, places we must not miss. What happens if you start by removing them.

BEFORE YOU
HIT THE ROAD.
A few answers to leave
more room for possibility.
What is Ailleurs?
Ailleurs is an invitation to explore the great outdoors. Discover escape ideas and stories to help you imagine a journey that fits the way you feel right now.
Can I book a trip on this website?
These escapes are ideas to inspire you, rather than trips to book. This website does not currently offer payments or reservations. Explore the destinations and keep the ones that make you want to go.
Do I need to travel far for a change of scene?
An unfamiliar path, a nearby forest, a day by the water: an escape can begin close to home. Distance matters less than the time you give yourself.
Where do the photographs come from?
The photographs show real landscapes. Photographer names and sources are listed in the image credits at the bottom of the page. The journal stories are written from the field.
