Our expeditions are crafted as life-changing, tailored adventures—not just group trips. Preparation starts 3-6 months prior, including a personalized training program. We access remote locations that require special permits and expert guidance, ensuring a unique, unforgettable experience beyond the usual.

Element X is for those seeking more than a holiday - leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and adventure enthusiasts who crave personal growth and transformation. If you’re curious, open-minded, and ready to push your boundaries, you’ll fit right in.

No prior survival experience is necessary. We tailor our preparation phase to your background and skills. Our guides teach essential wilderness and survival techniques so you’re fully prepared to tackle the challenge.

Each expedition has a fitness level rating (1-5). Most are accessible if you can walk 5-10 km and follow our training plan. We assess your fitness beforehand and provide a tailored training schedule to help you prepare.

While prior experience is helpful, it’s not mandatory. We provide extensive pre-departure training to equip you with the necessary skills for each journey.

Our expeditions vary in intensity, but they all involve physical activity and outdoor challenges. During the preparation phase, we assess your fitness and help you train as needed. Everyone starts at a different level, and that’s totally fine.

Preparation typically starts 3-6 months before departure, including physical training, team-building, skill workshops, and expedition-specific guidance.

Unlike mass-market trips, Element X expeditions are off-the-grid, transformative experiences crafted around personal growth. We combine adventure, survival training, and leadership coaching in wild, untouched locations. Every detail is tailored to the individual or group, ensuring a journey that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Flights are usually not included, and travel insurance is required but must be arranged separately. We can advise on the best options for comprehensive coverage.

Not at all. Our expeditions focus on personal development, resilience, and growth through real-world challenges rather than spiritual practices. It’s all very grounded.

Exclusivity at Element X means personalized, small-group experiences where every participant receives individual attention and guidance. This ensures a safe, high-impact, and intimate environment that mass-market travel simply can’t offer. Plus, we take you to the most incredible, remote places on earth - places most people never get to see.

Expect a range from tents, snow caves, and jungle shelters to basic hotels or yurts, depending on the adventure level. Each expedition description specifies accommodations for your comfort preference.

At Element X, safety is the foundation of every expedition. Our journeys are led by professionally trained guides with Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and First Aid certifications who have years of experience in extreme environments. Each expedition is equipped with satellite phones and GPS tracking for real-time communication. Before departure, we conduct a thorough risk analysis of the route and environment and prepare a comprehensive evacuation plan with 4x4 vehicles and helicopter support. From the moment you enter the wild to the last step of your journey, every detail is carefully planned to ensure your safety - allowing you to fully embrace the adventure and grow, even when the path takes unexpected turns.

Safety is our top priority. Our guides are certified Wilderness First Responders, and expeditions are equipped with essential safety gear and communication tools for remote environments.

Leadership is at the heart of every Element X journey. You’ll be thrown into real-life challenges where decisive leadership is key - navigating tough terrain, handling unexpected obstacles, and making decisions under pressure. Expect moments where you take the lead, guiding the group through unpredictable situations while receiving direct feedback from our guides. From managing team dynamics to dealing with setbacks, you'll practice leadership hands-on. No theory, just pure experience - so you leave the expedition stronger, more confident, and ready to lead in any situation.

Groups are small, generally 6-12 people, to ensure a personalized experience. You’ll meet like-minded adventurers and connect during the preparation phase.

Many participants join solo and build new connections. We also welcome pairs or small groups.

An intensive, week-long expedition where you step away from the ordinary to develop your leadership in the most extreme conditions. You’ll take full ownership for a complete 24-hour period - leading the group through the challenges of day and night in real wilderness. You’ll navigate storms, choose routes in unknown terrain, manage equipment failures, and learn to lead through complexity. Expect intensive, real-time feedback on your leadership style, helping you shift from problems to solutions. Before departure, we help you identify the personality types you find most challenging, and during the expedition you’ll learn to lead diverse teams. Finally, you’ll share this journey with a carefully selected group of peers -trust, collaboration, and deep conversations that strengthen your leadership far beyond any workshop.

You’ll join a curated group of like-minded individuals - leaders, professionals, and adventure seekers - who share your drive for growth and challenge. We deliberately keep groups small and balanced to create a supportive, high-impact team dynamic.
