Practical information

 

An up-to-date schedule of the hikes can be found in the program section. If you are interested in any of these hikes, please contact me for more information or booking. This can be done until 48 hours before. A minimum of four adults is required for a hike to be confirmed.

If you prefer hiking on a date not given in the program, do not hesitate to call me to see if something may be arranged. I can suggest one of my predefined hikes or answer to more specific requests.
