About us

OutBreak Adventure is a small, independent company which has been established since 2004, to provide fun and challenging experiences to our guests, who now number many hundreds. We are registered in England, although we have strong links with Scandanavia and guests join us from all all over the world. Our team are also an international bunch, coming from England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, France and Austria.

We love sharing our passion for the outdoors and we firmly believe that offering challenging holidays provides a much more memorable experience. However, we recognise 'a challenge' is different for everyone and for that reason we have developed a range of holidays and a grading system, to help you find just the holiday you are looking for.

Jamie founded OutBreak Adventure as a way of offering to others the same memorable and challenging experiences that he has enjoyed himself, when both mountain biking and hiking in various parts of the world. The chances are that you will deal with him during the booking process. He can also be found accompanying our guests on some of our mountain bike holidays.

Gustav is of Swedish origin, but has lived in France since 1998. As well as being a partner in OutBreak Adventure he is also a qualified International Mountain Leader (Accompagnateur en Montagne) and speaks English like a native, as well as French... and Swedish. He leads a majority of our guided walking holidays in the French Alps and Pyrenees.

Bruno is the the one Frenchman on the team. He joined OutBreak Adventure for the 2008 season as an apprentice walking guide and he is now a fully qualified International Mountain Leader (Accompagnateur en Montagne). Bruno speaks very good English - with an endearing French accent - and he has picked up an English sense of humor along the way.

Valda is Irish but a French resident since 1996. Like everyone else at OutBreak Adventure, she chose to take time out from a well-paid, secure corporate position - formerly an IT project manager - and now helps us expand our business. Previously based on the French Riviera, Valda is enjoying a more peaceful existence, closer to nature and well away from all the tourists on the beach!

Sally and Andi guide our walking holidays and treks in the Tyrol region of Austria. Sally is a Tyrolian qualified walking guide and is originally from Yorkshire, although she has lived in Austria since 2002. She is married to Andi, a native of Austria and an Austrian Mountain Guide. They both live and work in the Austrian Alps (Tyrol) throughout the year.
