Over the mountains trip

Embark on an unforgettable expedition to the high-altitude peaks, where the air is thin, the sky is crystal clear, and the stars feel close enough to touch. Our “Over the Mountains” trip is a curated journey designed to escape the light pollution of the city and reach the world’s most pristine dark-sky sites. This adventure takes our members deep into the mountain ranges, providing a stable and transparent atmosphere that is essential for deep-space observation. It is a true explorer’s retreat, blending the rugged beauty of the wilderness with the sophisticated science of modern astronomy.

During this multi-day trip, participants engage in intensive stargazing sessions using portable high-power equipment, guided by our senior astronomers. Daytime activities include hiking to geological landmarks and learning about the atmospheric conditions that make mountain peaks the preferred location for the world’s largest professional observatories. In the evenings, we gather around campfires to discuss celestial navigation and the history of the constellations visible above the ridgelines. This trip is more than just a tour; it is an immersive experience that reconnects you with the natural world and the vast, silent beauty of the universe.
