I am looking for an adventure specifically for 4e that is much more about the environment being the enemy than monsters. For example party needs to go from A to B. What they need to do at B is easy but the actual journey is tough because it’s through a swamp (or desert or some other harsh terrain). There still would be combat encounters but they would be more incidental.

Thinking about old "Expert Box" style games like Quagmire is the only one I can think of at the moment which does this.

Thanks in advance!

Dark sun hands down

Dark Sun...is a setting, not an adventure.

While Darksun is a setting instead of an adventure, there are a lot of darksun adventures and I would check those out. Also the Darksun sourcebook can give you a lot of ideas as well.
