Win An Outdoor Adventure In The French Alps With Arc’teryx

WE DON’T USE the term ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ very often, but in some cases, any other description wouldn’t suffice. The giveaway that Arc’teryx is currently running is one such case, with a prize valued at over $36,000 up for grabs.

As fans of sturdy mountaineering kit and big believers in the buy right, buy once philosophy, it’s difficult not to admire Arc’teryx, who reside firmly at the summit of the outdoor apparel game. The brand’s design process is rooted in a connection to the real world, where people want gear that will hold up on an Alpine vista and won’t look out of place on a city street.

That’s the crux of Arc’teryx’s principles, but in addition to providing durable, comfortable and performance focused apparel, the brand is also focused on fostering an informed and supportive outdoor community. That’s why it created the Arc’teryx Academy, a series of global mountain festivals combining education and entertainment, almost 20 years ago.

The next iteration of the Arc’teryx Academy is set to begin in July 2025 and will be held in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France. Whether you’re completely new to the mountaineering experience or are a seasoned pro, the Academy is an opportunity to be mentored by world-class athletes and guides, catch a range of film premieres, soak up some live music and advance your skillset while connecting with likeminded people in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. And here’s the kicker: you have a chance of coming along for free.

That’s right, by entering Arc’teryx’s giveaway you’ll go into the draw to win a pair of tickets to the Alpine Academy, as well as thousands of dollars in other prizes. Here’s the full breakdown of what you’ll get if you win:

Flights & 7 days accommodation for 2
2x tickets to the Arc’teryx Alpine Academy
$6,000 Arc’teryx voucher
$5,500 Nikon Z6III camera + Z 24-70mm lens
$3,000 Sea to Summit voucher
$1,000 spending money

2x Golden Tickets to Arc’teryx AU Events in 2025
