The trip offers an introduction to the mountains on steep trails with a challenging level of difficulty. In a stark, rocky landscape, the hikes reveal unique scenery that sometimes requires effort to reach, but the trip remains accessible to anyone in good health.

Rest assured, these modifications are always made in your best interest, for your safety and comfort!


Please note: hiking routes may change depending on the group's level and the weather; the guide will be the facilitator and will offer you a suitable hike each day.

Overall, a pleasant stay. The suggested hikes are interesting, but the actual level is a bit more demanding than described in the itinerary. The hotel is very charming and superbly located, with a swimming pool that's a real bonus amidst the mountains. However, I felt there was a difference in treatment between hotel guests and those who came through an organized tour, which is a shame and could be improved to create a more harmonious experience.
