What is included

Authorized mountain guide

An authorized mountain guide is essential on a hike, ensuring safety, orientation, a deep understanding of the surrounding environment, and reducing risk factors such as getting lost on the trail, encounters with wild animals, or unexpected weather conditions.

Medical insurance with mountain coefficient

Medical insurance with mountain coefficient – a must for hikes!
✔ Covers rescue and evacuation (including helicopter).
✔ Protects against mountain injuries (sprains, fractures, hypothermia).
✔ Saves you from huge costs.

Round-trip Transport

For mountain hikes, we never use large coaches – in the mountains we prefer small groups of up to 19 travelers, traveling exclusively by modern minibuses equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey.

1 night accommodation

For this hike, accommodation is planned in guesthouses or hotels of at least 3★, in double rooms (twin or matrimonial), or triple rooms for groups of friends, subject to availability. Solo travelers will be accommodated in double rooms with twin beds, together with persons of the same sex.

If you prefer single accommodation, a supplement of €30–45 can be paid for a single room. For this option, please contact our managers.

Breakfast

We offer an included breakfast at the hotel on Sunday, so you will save time and money, enjoy comfort right after waking up, benefit from guaranteed food quality, and start your day stress-free.
