WHO WE ARE
Two brothers with 13 years of difference and two very different passions, Albert only dreamed of sailing and Xevi, since childhood, always tried to be in the mountains. It was almost impossible to meet in order to carry out a common project.
For some years Xevi has participated in Himalaiaski, a project to film mountain skiing documentaries outside the most common routes. In the year 2017 they decided to go to the north of Norway to shoot a new documentary in which were climbed some of the less frequented mountains from sea level, sailing from island to island with a sailboat.
We leave you with the Documentary; initially it was about recording the world champion of mountain skiing, Mireia Miró, but it really was much more.
It was the beginning of this project.

His work as a civil engineer and also his assignments at high altitude camera in the Himalaiaski documentaries have allowed him to make friends with people of many places of the world. Now he helps his brother to share and teach all his experiences and knowledge, and what better way than with this project.

Himalaiaski
Team
It is a producer of mountain movies, travel articles and photography. "We don't look for the highest or most difficult peaks, just get out of the marked paths, introduce ourselves into other cultures and look for the unknown." The Off Trail Trips project is just transferring the idea of Himalaiaski to people in search of these places.
With the Himalaiaski team we will continue to look for new destinations. Now you decide whether to watch the movies or to live the adventure.
