On Days 1 and 2, we focus on acclimatation and getting to know the group and the surroundings.
Routes are usually 12 to 16km long on average. Our trails alternate between pine woods, meadows and ridges, offering 360° breathtaking views of the valleys and summits around us.

On Day 3 or 4, you can expect a long day in the mountain. We spend around 8h walking uphills, running downhills and stopping for some sightseeing and refuelling.
