So you can plan your hiking tour perfectly and enjoy nature at your own pace!
Our hiking tours are divided into the following levels of difficulty:
-—
Hiking pleasure

The pleasure hiking tours are particularly suitable for beginners and for all those who are also looking for relaxation and recreation. Hiking is done on easy and well-maintained hiking trails.
-—
Leisurely hiking
Tour duration up to 5 hours
Here you can expect leisurely hikes on good hiking trails without any particular technical requirements. You hike for up to 5 hours a day (sometimes a little longer) with slight differences in altitude. You should be in good health and have a basic level of fitness.

Mountain hiking
Tour duration between 5 and 7 hours
The differences in altitude and distances are somewhat greater on these tours. In addition, you will mostly be hiking on footpaths. You should be sure-footed and free from vertigo in some sections. You will walk for 5 to 7 hours a day and small summit ascents are possible. We expect you to be in good physical condition so that you can enjoy the high-altitude trails.

Trekking
Tour duration up to 8 hours
Depending on the route, you hike between 1,500 and 2,500 m on mountain paths and stony, sometimes well-trodden trails. Sure-footedness, a head for heights and good stamina are required for tours of up to 8 hours. Mountain experience is a prerequisite for some tours. In some cases, you have to carry your own rucksack for overnight stays in huts. Good equipment is important.
