✅ accomodation
Along your self guided hiking tour, your overnight stays will be in traditional mountain huts. As a standard, we reserve spots in shared dormitories. If you prefer a private room, we’re happy to check availability upon request. Should private rooms be fully booked or unavailable in a specific hut, we will automatically secure a place for you in a dormitory. Please note that private rooms come with an extra charge due to higher costs.
✅ HAlf board (breakfast and dinner at the huts)
Your hut accommodation includes both dinner and breakfast, unless stated otherwise in the service description. This way, you can hike with a lighter pack and won’t need to plan additional meals for the evening and morning. Please note that lunch is not included, but can usually be purchased directly at the huts.

❓ Extra night before and/or after
You can add an overnight stay before and/or after your trek – simply let us know during booking.
❓ Airport Transfer
We can help arrange airport transfers to and from the starting point of your hike – just let us know your travel plans.
