Expeditions Unlimited is Secret Planet's high altitude and polar expeditions activity.

We have always been passionate about committed exploration and since 2011, with Expeditions Unlimited, we have patiently developed our proposals for polar expeditions and high altitude climbs. We are attached to the human dimension of exploration as much as to the physical and mental challenge it poses.

From the fourteen 8000s to the poles, from the high altitude mountains to the ice caps, our offer projects us into the universe of the few most recognized global operators and certainly the only French-speaking operator.

We approach this responsibility with pride, respect and humility: excellence of our guides and expedition leaders, theoretical and practical preparation of our participants, quality of collective and individual equipment, medical briefings and hotlines, weather routing, live monitoring and communication…

On a few rare initiatives, often once per decade, sometimes world firsts, as far as our collective memory allows us to say, we offer expeditions in the jungles, in the deserts or on the oceans.

We make extraordinary expeditions accessible to enthusiasts. We guide them to complete the journey of their life.

In 1929 and 1931, the Germans fought an exhausting and sometimes tragic struggle. Then in 1955, two Britons finally set foot on the summit of the mountain. Back to those intense years.
