Asked on September 16th, 2025does this included luggage transfer ? or this is a backpacking tour ?
- Explore!Operator•Written September 2025
This tour is actually a center based tour where you stay in the same hotel throughout the duration of the trip so there is not need for luggage transfer at all. You simply need your daypack for the day hikes with your water, snacks and extra layers.

Debbie
Asked on April 6th, 2025What is your estimate for level of activity so I can determine if I'm up for this. The climb in elevation is what I'm concerned about mostly.
- Explore!Operator•Written April 2025
There are 5 day-walks on this holiday with an average of 6/7 hours walking each day. Terrain varies from quiet roads and good tracks in forests to some rugged singletrack paths. Surfaces can be uneven and are often stony and rocky underfoot so walking boots or shoes are essential. We are trekking in a mountainous area; typically, sections of uphill last for around 3 to 5 km/1.9 to 3.1 miles and take 2 to 3 hours to gain 400 to 500 m/1300 to 1641 ft in altitude. Please see the day-to-day itinerary for full details of the elevation gains and descents that will be made over the course of each day. Some of the hikes are at an elevation over 2000 m/6562 ft when we will slow our pace to allow for the effects of altitude. To make the most of your trip, regular long walks on hilly terrain in the weeks leading up to the trip will help prepare you.

Our route would be easier and shorter than the Alta Via route. A pre or post tour hotel night can be requested the rate is US$180.00 per room/per night for a single room.
