OURMISSION

Our mission is to custom-make powerful

experiences that impact the people who impact

the world. Whether heli-skiing near the Arctic

Circle in Iceland or casting for bonefish on a

remote island in the Bahamas, Eleven experiences

are a different kind of escape. We are not found

in traditional destinations. Our lodges, chalets and

beach houses are miles from the main road - in

a historic farming village high along the French-

Italian border, on a rugged river in Patagonia, and

in other unique locations away from the crowd.

In each destination, world-class food and lodging

are combined with guided outdoor activities on

mountains, in the backcountry, and on the water

for guests of all ages and all skill levels. In urban

locations our guides gracefully introduce guests

to local culture, knowledge and places known only

to native insiders.

No matter where in the world they may be,

every facility has five-star accommodations,

award-winning chefs, extensive wine cellars,

saunas, steam rooms, spas, and friendly, expert

guides who will show you new dimensions of life,

friendship, family and adventure.

Eleven Experience is headquartered in Crested Butte, Colorado. Eleven represents a new standard in experiential travel. We quench a thirst for unprecedented adventures, authentic connections with down-to-earth guides and deeply personalized holidays for the Adventure Capitalist.

OFF THE BEATEN PATHAt the root of Eleven’s identity is

the belief that you shouldn’t have

to sacrifice the comforts of home

in order to experience some of the

world’s most beautiful landscapes

and incredible adventures. Our

team has scoured the globe for

destinations relatively unknown and

which still have a strong connection

to their community and landscape.

Although our properties are far

from the main road, they are custom

designed to ensure you have access

to all of the amenities you should -

steam showers, saunas, pools, unique

hang spaces, comfortable guest

rooms and more.

CUSTOM TAILORED EXPERIENCESWe believe that your trip should be

about you. That means that no trip

is ever the same. Even before you

arrive, our Experience Managers will

help plan your dream itinerary, design

menus, organize travel logistics, take

note of your preferences and plan

special moments. We want you to

experience the most out of your trip.

As a result, most of our stays are

largely all-inclusive — meaning that

your professional guides, outdoor

activities, most meals, house alcohol

and local transportation are included.

Specific offerings vary at each

property - please see destination

pages for details.

ELEVEN GUIDE TEAMAt the core of the experience is the

Eleven Guide Team. This international

group of highly-trained outdoor and

adventure specialists makes the

entire experience. Their mission is to

assess your goals and comfort levels

and then customize the adventure

to provide that “best-day-ever”

experience. Our guides’ enthusiasm

for their local surroundings and

the adventures they share with you

is infectious. It’s what sets Eleven

Experience apart from any other

company in the industry. If getting

after it and being slightly out of your

comfort zone sounds exciting, this

cast of characters will safely lead you

through a life-changing experience.

BEST DAY EVER POLICYThis is important. Unlike other

resorts and guide operations, we

don’t acknowledge “down days” or

“weather days.” There are no rain

checks. We are always armed and

amped to improvise and be creative.

If we can’t ski, we’ll surf. If we can’t

fish, we’ll go paddle boarding with a

gourmet riverside lunch. You came to

have a once-in-a-lifetime experience,

and this is what you’ll get.

“ Can’t begin to describe how fired up

I am right now. Empty, glassy, perfect

right point this morning and now we’re

suiting up to hop in the heli to film skiing.

Does it get any better?

- Scott Gaffney, MSP Films at Deplar Farm

ADVENTURESFOR ALLThere is not a “right” or a “wrong”

way to experience an Eleven

destination. If you’re a die-hard

charger who wants to jam-pack your

day with adrenaline-fueled activities,

we’ve got you covered. If you’re

simply looking for somewhere off the

map to turn off your phone and put

your feet up, that’s what we’re here

for. Looking for a family getaway to

reconnect with multiple generations

and long lost cousins? You’re in

the right place. Regardless of age,

adventure enthusiasm, outdoor

experience or vacation goals, we

will design a trip that exceeds your

expectations.

A REALCONNECTIONAt the end of the day, Eleven strives

to create memories that you, your

family and your friends can share for

a lifetime. We believe the connections

and relationships that our guests

foster amongst themselves and

with nature are the most valuable

commodities in the world, and we’re

here to create these life-affirming

moments with you.

A LETTERFROM YOUR GUIDE

6

My name is Alan Bernholtz. I have worked with Eleven Experience since its inception and have been able to watch the company transform into a leader in the experiential travel industry. As Eleven Experience continues to provide new and exhilarating opportunities for guests around the world, we have remained true to our values from day one. By exposing our guests to nature, new challenges and world-class lodging, we facilitate an environment of personal growth, connection, and adrenaline-fueled fun.

Our guides are experts in their field, and will provide insight into local culture, geology, biology and what makes our destinations so special. Our job is to show guests the best places in the world, and while doing so, push beyond their comfort zone where they begin to open up and engage with nature, themselves and each other in ways they never have before. Watching this transformation take place is one of my favorite aspects of the job, and it keeps me excited to come to work each day.

At Eleven, each trip is different and we understand the unique goals of each guest during their stay. We work closely with guests to tailor their experience, understand their expectations and exceed them. This personal approach to transformative travel allows us to create the “best day ever” and to form friendships with clients that last long after the trip is over. Our product is set apart from other operations in that we have the ability to anticipate guests needs and take care of the logistics behind the scenes using our in-house guide team. Our seamless performance allows for an unforgettable adventure, leaving you wanting to book your next trip before you return home.

ABOUT TAYLOR CANYON

Reaching back to the late 1800’s, the Taylor Canyon was shaped by a diverse history of gold mining and ranching. Since it’s early settlement, Taylor Park has drawn pioneers – individuals excited to push the boundaries of their natural surroundings. Today, the Taylor Canyon is a source of world-class whitewater and unspoiled trout fishing for everyone. Formerly used as a locals general store for fishing and tackle, the property has since been transformed into a private retreat. Many of the cabins and structures are built on existing footprints using the original six-inch D-log kits. Colorado blue sky, emerald green pine trees and colorful granite walls frame all of your adventures at Taylor River Lodge.

FLY FISHING IN THE GUNNISON VALLEYThe Gunnison Valley is an iconic North American fishing destination for both the die-hard angler or the first timer. Our guides will take you fishing on the Taylor River, the Gunnison River and other classic trout waters. Taylor River Lodge has a stocked casting pond, perfect for beginners and intermediate anglers looking to work on their technique. Taylor River, located out our back door, is famous for its large tailwater fish. Along our mile of semi-private water, you will find fast runs, deep pockets and large boulders within a scenic canyon setting. The remote location means low pressure and high catch rates.

The Gunnison River is only a 15-minute drive from the Lodge. The “Gunny” offers long riffles, deep pools and long, slow drifts. Whether float fishing in a drift boat or wading along the banks, this an exceptional river that offers a fantastic experience for anglers of all capabilities. The Gunnison River provides the best chance of catching a large quantity of big fish. In addition to the two classic rivers, we take clients fishing on lesser known waters in the Gunnison Valley. We have access to a private two mile stretch on Tomichi Creek offering opportunities for large wild brown trout, and we can organize an array of additional options ranging from high alpine lakes to low willow creeks.
