the purpose of it is to keep our group small enough to create wonderful friendship while explore one of the world beautiful mountains.
In the space of a week we will Hike along the Italian Alps.
5 days will give us time to explore and unwind at our accomodation afterward enjoying a heart warming local dish made with love.
Five days on a spectacular and amazing route through the Italian Alps. This varied tour through alpine pastures, high alpine valleys, glacial views and summer mountain flora and fauna. A mix of relaxed and more demanding days, stop and eat cake or bag another peak en-route mean the programme is fun and without pressure. You will come home really feeling like you have had a holiday.
The varied accommodation styles along the route provide different alpine cultural experiences as well as some comfort - giving you the opportunity to rest and regenerate along the way.

ACCOMDATION
Mountain refuge accommodation – What to expect!
During our tour we stay in mountain refuges in stunning and fairly remote locations.
All rooms are comfortable but basic- warm blankets and pillows are provided- it is a requirement to bring your own sleeping bag liner. One night is in a two-bed, the other in a four/ five bed room exclusively for our group.
Water and electricity at these altitudes is also limited. Certain huts will have hot showers available for a small charge.
Being in Italy, you can expect to get a delicious and hearty meal, good wine and coffee despite the remote locations!
