ABOUT YONDERLAND

We believe that the outdoors is exciting, relaxing, and inspiring. It's versatile; for some, it's a place to unwind, while for others, it's the ultimate challenge. A place to enjoy where great and small moments come together. It's a place to be discovered or recognized. But the outdoors can also be treacherous and unpredictable. The weather and terrain can surprise you. Our mission is to enable everyone to have inspiring and epic moments outdoors.

Yonderland is a European group of premium retail brands and concepts focused on the outdoors. This includes A.S. Adventure, JuMu, Bever, Cotswold, Snow+Rock, Runnersneed, and Ayacucho. Yonderland operates over 190 stores in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands and is based in Belgium.
