Introducing Vardane: an expedition and mountaineering website template
Vardane is a premium template for mountaineering and expedition companies, with a film hero, route maps, itineraries and departures that update everywhere at once.
Vardane is for companies that take people somewhere extraordinary. The home page gives the whole screen to your film, with a sound switch and a giant word along the bottom.
The best moment comes on summit night: steps from camp to summit, each with a time and an altitude, while the gauge climbs and dawn breaks at the top.
Here's what's inside, and how it helps you launch faster.
Who Vardane is for
It's built for mountaineering outfitters, trekking companies and adventure travel brands that run scheduled departures.
What's inside Vardane
Build pages without code
Every page is a list of sections in Sanity Studio. Add a Route map, Departures or Climbers' words section, drag it into place and publish.
Next.js or Astro, your choice
One purchase includes both. The Next.js site refreshes from Sanity every minute without a redeploy; the Astro site is fully static, fast and cheap to host, and can rebuild automatically when you publish through a deploy hook.
A film with its sound
The home page gives the whole screen to your film, with a pause button, a sound switch and a giant word along the bottom.
Summit night
Steps from camp to summit, each with a time and an altitude. The gauge climbs, the altimeter counts and dawn breaks at the top. Change the steps in the Studio and it still works.
Every date, everywhere
Add departures to an expedition once and they show on its page, in the departures list and in the hero card, sorted, with past dates gone.
From any page to a reservation
A Reserve button on a date carries the expedition and the dates through to the four-step form.
Editing it in Sanity
Everything you see on the Vardane demo, from headlines and photos to buttons and page order, lives in Sanity Studio. You change it in plain fields, press Publish, and the site updates. No code and no developer needed. New to Sanity? Read our guide on editing a Sanity website template without code.
Under the hood, Vardane is built with Next.js 16 App Router, Astro v7, Sanity Studio v6 and Tailwind CSS v4.
