HOFNAR - For people who like doing STUFF!

The Thames is a beautiful river, a very different beast to that you see in central London.

Either meet us at Paddington station to catch the 9:38am train or meet us in Henley upon Thames.

We'll pick up our Canadian style 2 person canoes in Henley at about 11am and spend the day leisurely paddling to Marlow.

[You can of course bring your own craft, but will have to work out your own transportation / return at the end of the day]

It is 9.5miles and is not a technical paddle, so suitable for all... but you should have a mildly good level of fitness.

This will be a cracking day out - we'll picnic by the river and we'll end in a pub.

Perfect.

1st & 8th August 2026

## HOFNAR… but in the sun

A social summer week in the Alps with the HOFNAR crew
Same chaos as winter……just with lake days, BBQs and a bit less clothing
Come solo, leave with a crew!

⭐ “Came on my own and left with friends I’m still travelling with now”
⭐ “Didn’t know anyone — by day two we were best mates”
⭐ “Booked again before I even got home”

## What it’s all about

This isn’t a rigid, activity-heavy trip
It’s a social week in the mountains where you can do as much or as little as you want
Some days you’ll be: hiking, biking, rafting or jumping off things
Other days: lake swims, balcony beers, BBQs and heading out together

We’ll be running a flexible mix of activities throughout the week, including things like:

• mountain biking
• canyoning & rafting
• hiking (including the Morzine peaks)
• paragliding, zip lines & more

👉 But there’s zero pressure — dip in and out as you like
You can go full send…or do absolutely nothing at all……both are equally encouraged

# “Is this for you?

Short answer: yes 👀
You don’t need to be mega fit
You don’t need to know anyone
You don’t even need a plan
Most people come solo — that’s kind of our thing
The vibe is:

• active (but not intense)
• social (without being forced)
• do as much or as little as you want

One day you might be hiking
The next… you might just be by the lake with a beer
Average age is around 30, but we don’t cap it
People come from all over (mostly UK), and by day one it all blends into one crew

## What the week looks like

There’s no strict itinerary here
We’ll shape the week around the group — some days go big, some days don’t….
But to give you an idea, a typical week might look like:

### A few of the highlights:

• Mountain biking with lift access
• Lake swims & lazy afternoons
• White water rafting & canyoning
• Hiking (including the Morzine peaks if you’re up for it)
• Paragliding, zip lines & general chaos

### And the rest:

• BBQs at the chalet
• Group dinners out
• Drinks, games, and heading out together

## Pricing (and how it works)

We run this as a small group — so the more people that join, the better it gets for everyone

### Starting price:

• Triple room: £650 (£600 mates rates)
• Twin room: £750 (£700 mates rates)

### If we fill the chalet (10+ people):

• Triple: £460 / £410
• Twin: £560 / £510

👉 So the earlier we fill it, the cheaper it becomes for everyone
👍 No risk:
We need 8 people to run the week
If we don’t hit that — you get a full refund (including deposit)

## Where you’ll stay

We’re back in our spiritual home: Chalet Skade
If you’ve been on a winter trip — you already know
If you haven’t:

• big social spaces
• sun-soaked balcony
• BBQs & drinks outside
• jacuzzi in the garden

…and just a short walk into town

# What’s Included

We try to make the week feel as easy and relaxed as possible — so once you arrive, you can properly switch off and just enjoy it.
Included in your trip:

• Airport transfers from/to Geneva
• Shared chalet accommodation in Chalet Skade
• Welcome drinks on arrival
• Daily breakfasts (including one full English)
• 5 evening meals at the chalet
• Unlimited beer, wine & soft drinks with meals
• Packed lunch supplies & our famous “raid the fridge” policy
• Snacks, cakes, waffles & general post-activity recovery food
• HOFNAR hosts throughout the week to organise, guide and generally cause chaos
• Portes du Soleil MultiPass included (lifts, swimming pool, tennis courts & discounts on loads of activities)

## A few practical bits

### Flights

Flights are not included, so you’ll just need to get yourself to Geneva Airport 👍Most people fly in on Saturday morning and we’ll collect everyone from the airport for the transfer up to Morzine.
Activities
The trip itself is all about the group and the experience — but a lot of the bigger activities are optional extras and paid locally.
Things like:

• rafting
• canyoning
• paragliding
• mountain bike hire

…all depend on what you fancy getting involved with during the week
Hiking, lake days, swimming and generally hanging out in the mountains can cost very little, but if you’re planning on going full send every day, we’d suggest budgeting around €50–€60 per day for activities.

### Insurance

Travel insurance is not included, so please make sure you arrange comprehensive cover before the trip — especially if you’re planning on mountain biking or adventure activities 👍

### A couple of dinners out

Most food and drink at the chalet is included, but we’ll usually head out into town for dinner together on a couple of evenings during the week
