Tell us about you and your company.
Epic Europe is a bespoke luxury adventure travel company, based in Switzerland and the Alps of France Italy, and Austria. We offer custom, private trips year-round, tailored to clients’ specific needs and desires—no group or package tours. Specializing in active adventure—skiing, cycling, hiking; but also combining culture, gastronomy, and authentic local experiences for individuals, family, multi-generational, private groups.
Jack: I was a journalist and freelance producer in the outdoor and travel markets, and Susanna was a professional skier, which allowed us to travel the world while creating content for major print and visual media outlets. As the opportunities for freelance work like that began to dry up and travel trends shifted to more experiential, we realized that we had built a huge network of partners over the years—from local guides to hoteliers, restaurateurs, producers of wines, cheeses and other artisanal products—and we could offer unique trips tying in all of these experiences to a select and discerning clientele. We moved to Europe full-time in 2008 and founded Epic Europe shortly thereafter.
