Moving Mountains

What Moving Mountains does

Moving Mountains is the operating brand of peak2peak consulting GmbH, a privately held German limited liability company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Oberhaching near Munich, Bavaria. The company delivers nature-based experiential coaching and leadership development services, combining outdoor mountain activities (hiking, hut-to-hut traverses) with structured psychological and organizational development frameworks, including Theory U principles and attachment-oriented parenting approaches. Its portfolio spans the Leadership Development Intensive (LDI) — a 3.5-day executive program delivered in cooperation with the Scherer Leadership Center — alongside Teamentwicklung (custom team retreats for organizations), WanderCoaching (open hut-to-hut hiking seminars), the Eltern Auszeit (Parents Retreat), and a research-backed team development variant developed with Euro-FH Hamburg.

The business operates on a hybrid professional services model. Enterprise clients (including Siemens AI Lab, Beiersdorf, Hypoport, EGYM Wellpass, and Gore) purchase customized team retreats through direct consultation, typically at undisclosed custom pricing for groups of 6-15. Individual participants register via self-service website booking for scheduled LDI cohorts (tiered at €1,950-€3,900+VAT), WanderCoaching seminars (€480 base cost-recovery with voluntary honorarium), and the Parents Retreat (€310 base with voluntary fee). Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), a periodic email newsletter, Google reviews, and Google AdWords. The company is funded entirely by founders and operations, with no disclosed external investment, and operates across Europe with both German and English delivery.

Emerging players

• Backroads: Active-adventure travel company running multi-day hiking and biking trips with a focus on small groups and premium experiences. Partially comparable as a multi-day, group-based outdoor experience operator, though oriented to leisure travelers rather than corporate development buyers.
• G Adventures: Small-group adventure travel operator running multi-day guided trips worldwide, including hiking and experiential formats. Adjacent rather than direct — comparable in running organized small-group outdoor experiences, but the customer and outcome (leisure travel vs. leadership development) differ.

Broad incumbents

• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Global leadership and talent development consultancy providing assessment, coaching, and team programs to enterprise clients. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same HR/L&D buyer category Moving Mountains sells into with its Teamentwicklung retreats.
• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a sizable leadership and coaching practice serving enterprise HR buyers. Comparable as a broad incumbent targeting the same corporate leadership and team-development budget pool that Moving Mountains accesses via team retreats.
• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Large, established leadership development research and training organization serving global enterprises with executive coaching and team programs. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the same buyer category (corporate leaders and teams), though without Moving Mountains' outdoor/hiking delivery model.
• FranklinCovey: Global performance and leadership development company selling enterprise training, coaching, and content (e.g., 7 Habits). Comparable as an incumbent in leadership and personal effectiveness training targeting similar corporate buyers, though delivered via classroom/digital rather than outdoor formats.

Direct peers

• Outward Bound International: Global experiential education provider offering outdoor-based leadership, team-building, and personal development programs. Overlaps Moving Mountains on the outdoor experiential methodology applied to corporate and individual learners, with international geographic reach similar to the Scherer partnership.
• NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School): Leading US wilderness education organization that teaches leadership, decision-making, and team skills through multi-day outdoor expeditions. Directly comparable to Moving Mountains in combining multi-day wilderness experiences with structured leadership and personal-development curricula for adult learners.
