Three countries. Countless switchbacks. One unforgettable adventure. 🥾⛰️
Our Tri-Border Hike through Austria, Italy, and Slovenia challenged participants with steep climbs, rocky forest paths, and even a European heat wave—but every mile brought the group closer together.
The journey became one of teamwork, laughter, and lasting friendships, with every summit earning a well-deserved toast. 🍻

A little adventure, a lot of laughter, and countless memories made along the way. 🚲🇪🇸
W&L alumni recently traded the classroom for the countryside during the Lifelong Learning and Outing Club’s Catalonia: Food, Wine and Bike adventure. From scenic rides along the Costa Brava to shared picnics, local markets, historic villages and conversations over great food and wine, the trip offered the perfect blend of exploration, learning and connection.
As James Dick, director of Outdoor Education at W&L, shared, the journey was “a wonderful scenic ride full of adventures” — including a few wrong turns, plenty of laughs, new friendships and the kind of unexpected moments that make travel unforgettable.
Whether reconnecting with old friends or meeting fellow Generals for the first time, participants experienced what makes W&L’s lifelong learning opportunities so special: the chance to keep exploring, keep learning and keep building community long after graduation. 💙
