Additional Information
Program and supervision by the two national park rangers Heimo and Kiki
Good physical condition for multi-hour day stages and sure-footedness are a prerequisite.
Approximately 6 to 7 hours of pure walking time spread over a whole day, max. 1,000 to 1,200 meters of elevation gain per day
In addition to the usual hiking gear for day hikes (wind- and weather-resistant clothing, mountain-appropriate hiking shoes, change of clothes, personal (hygiene) equipment...):
- Sleeping bag for huts
- Headlamp or flashlight
- Snacks and drinks for the road (the snack for the next day can be purchased at the mountain hut)
How challenging is the tour?
The exact route will be determined shortly before depending on the weather situation. We will hike for about 6 - 7 hours spread throughout the day (pure walking time) and ascend up to 1,000 - 1,200 meters in elevation per day. In the evening, we will arrive at the respective hut.
When does the event start and end? Where do we stay overnight?
The event starts on the first day at 9:00 AM. During the day, we will hike and provide our own snacks, dinner and breakfast can be purchased at the mountain huts (not included). Overnight stays will be in the dormitory of the huts (reservations are made through the organizers, accommodation costs are not included in the package). If arriving by public transport, it may be advisable – depending on the public transport schedule – to plan for an arrival and overnight stay on-site the evening before.
A big request to all vegetarians and allergy sufferers: please inform us of this at registration so that we can pass this information on to the hut host.
Where will we be accommodated?
We will stay overnight in a mountain hut in the dormitory along our hiking route.
Can I bring my four-legged friend?
Bringing dogs is not allowed.
Will the event take place in any weather?
In principle, yes, unless a sudden cold snap or bad weather prevents hiking in higher altitudes.
Will be announced about two weeks before the start of the event.
