Hiking or Trekking

The best way to travel is, of course, on foot! Simple, natural and low-tech, it's the ideal way to immerse yourself in nature and restore your physical and mental health.

Please Note! The more mountainous the terrain is traversed during a specific trip, likely the more hiking experience and fitness will be required for a safe and enjoyable trip.

 

Distances and Progress

Stages generally range from 0 to 1000 meters (0 to 3280 feet) in elevation gain and from 10 to 25 km (6.2 to 15.5 mi) per day, lasting from 4 to 7 hours.

 

Difficulty

We indicate the difficulty of tours on a scale from 1 to 5.

Via Ferrata Hiking

In a class of their own: neither a real hike, nor a real climb. Your "trails" take you from paths to metal ladders or paths to ledges. The rules of safety are those of climbing nature, but without the climbing technique. Vertigo is an absolute no-no for this activity!

FAQ

You'll need suitable footwear for hiking. Some steep mountain routes require high-top hiking boots for extra ankle support.

We strongly recommend it. Poles will reduce the impact of your backpack and take the strain off your joints, helping you on the ascent and easing your descent.

In general, we recommend a 35 to 45-liter daypack. You will use it to carry personal items needed on your trip like; water, your picnic lunch/food, cutlery (tupperware, fork, knife), extra warm layers, rain gear, a small first-aid kit, etc.

You should refer to the list of things to take with you posted on your specific trip's information packet. Each of our trips have a detailed packing list of what you need and what is recommended for the specific activity.
