Levels of Difficulty 

We classify our trips by giving them different levels of difficulty. That gives our customers the opportunity to get a better idea of the challenges that might be faced when traveling with us. According to your personal fitness level, you can choose the perfect travel route for you. We took several criteria into consideration like climate, the country’s character, the length and the difference in elevation of the daily hikes. The length of the necessary bus trips and the kind of accommodation was considered, too. However, it is our many years’ experience and our profound knowledge of the country and its people that allow us to make the final classification for the trips.

Level I

Easy tours with almost no physical efforts: Occasionally, differences in elevation or temperature might be faced.

Level II

Intermediate level for beginners: Day tours that will challenge you moderately. Differences in elevation but also in temperature will be the most challenging part. You should be foot sure and not mind overnight stays in tents or shared rooms.

Level III

Intermediate level for the advanced: Challenging and often strenuous hikes that might go on for several days. Extreme changes in temperature and weather conditions often come along. You shouldn’t mind interurban bus trips and accommodations like tents and simple cottages sound adventurous and fun to you. You are foot sure and sportive in your leisure time.

Level IV

Difficult tours for the experienced: These climbs are strenuous, last several days in a row and ask for a superior fitness level. Extreme changes in temperature and weather conditions in high altitudes as well as the difference in elevation make the trip even more challenging. Longer interurban bus trips and overnight-stays in tents of an elevation of more than 5,000 meters are part of the tour. You should be in excellent shape, both physically and mentally. In your leisure time, you like to do sports regularly.
