      What is the level of difficulty for this hike?

    • EurohikeOperatorWritten January 2024

      This hiking holiday is assigned our level of difficulty 'Trekking' and requires a good level of fitness, as well as surefootedness and a head for heights. The daily stages are planned to last around four to six hours and partly lead through the high alpine area. Note: From the third hiking stage, you can choose a more relaxed option for the route if you wish, or use public transport.
