Bredeson Outdoor Adventures, under the direction of its founder Deborah Lewis, specializes in active outdoor cultural adventures in Europe, North and South America and beyond.  Our tours include guided and self-guided hiking and walking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and multi-sport adventures for all abilities. We pride ourselves in facilitating authentic, fun and often hidden experiences with a large dose of creature comforts and great attention to detail. Our love of local history and culture, and our friendly enthusiasm, pervade all of our tours.  We have been in business as an adventure tour operator since 2002 and Deborah has been guiding professionally since 1999.  She has also been leading hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, bicycling and sea kayaking trips as an Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) volunteer leader for over 25 years.  In addition to the AMC, we also belong to and support other trade groups such at the Adventure Travel Trade Association, the Green Mountain Club an the Catamount Trail Association.

Deborah has guided adventures for numerous groups and individuals in Europe and North America. She is an avid and experienced foreign traveler and adventure travel consultant. She speaks a number of foreign languages, including fluent German, very good French and "travel" Spanish and Italian. She lived for five years near the heart of the Alps in southern Germany and Zurich. While our main office is in Norwalk, Connecticut (USA) Deborah resides part-time in Vermont.  We use this as a base from which to indulge our passion for the Green Mountain State by providing numerous four season adventures there, in addition to in Europe, elsewhere in North America and other destinations.

Deborah's outdoor adventure career stems from the melding of an award-winning career in corporate wellness, training, and human resources consulting with a personal passion for outdoor adventure, diverse cultures and foreign travel.  She started this second career from the ground up, working as a guide, after which she became a tour operator.  This adventure travel career path provides us with in-the-trenches knowledge and experience that greatly enhances our customer service.  When you call Bredeson Outdoor Adventures you will speak with an expert guide, who will be able to advise you on the best adventure for you and your party.
