What are the ages of people on the Active Alps trip? Do you have gluten-free meal options as I'm celiac? What is the departure and return airport and can you manage them or do I need to?

For Contiki's Active Alps, the required age range is 18–35 years old. You can expect to travel with a group of like-minded young adventurers, usually a great mix of solo travelers and friends. We can usually cater for gluten-free diets and celiac disease, especially for included group meals. However, options can vary a bit by destination and local suppliers in the Alps, so we recommend mentioning your celiac disease and gluten-free requirement on your booking and letting your Trip Manager know at the start of the adventure so they can help coordinate meals and advise you on safer choices during free time. We take dietary needs seriously, but because celiac disease is medical and cross-contamination can be a concern, we always suggest you still bring some safe snacks and double-check ingredients on the spot. For this adventure, you are free to choose which airports you fly into and out of, as flights are not bundled in the adventure. Most travelers typically fly into a major nearby airport (for example, Munich, Innsbruck, or sometimes Zurich, depending on their wider plans) and then take a train to Hopfgarten/Wörgl Train Station for the start. At the end, people often depart from airports near Lauterbrunnen (commonly Zurich or Geneva) after taking the train out of the valley. At the moment, you would need to arrange your own flights separately from the adventure.

Looking at 2 of your tours and wanted to know which one might suit me best. Prague to Zürich would be great to have a chat.

Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.
