Transportation
Local transportation is provided by an 8 + 1 minibus. The small group size ensures flexibility of movement and options. Airline tickets are not included in the price, and you can either arrange them yourselves once the group is finalized or assign this task to our office. Contact us for more details.
Accommodation
Accommodation is provided in mountain refuges (3 nights) and hotels (4 nights). The refuges provide blankets, but we recommend using our sleeping bags. We suggest bringing a lightweight sleeping bag that occupies small volume and weight. Additionally, we recommend bringing earplugs to the refuges. Lastly, since sleeping in a bag with synthetic thermal underwear may cause discomfort, it's useful to carry a set of thin cotton pajamas. At the end of the program in Munich, anyone wishing to stay additional days can make the necessary accommodation and flight reservations.
Meals
Breakfast is included in all overnight stays. Other meals are not included, and everyone can choose from the available menu.
Program Change
Our office escort has the discretion to modify the program if weather or other local conditions (strikes, political unrest, etc.) require it, with the main criteria being the smooth progress of the program and the safety of the participants. Any costs arising from such changes are covered by the participants.
Weather
Weather during the summer months varies considerably. There are significant fluctuations, from hot and sunny days to very cold and rainy ones. Therefore, temperatures range from 5°C to 25°C. As we move in the mountains, rains are possible, especially in August. Afternoons are a common time for summer storms, so appropriate equipment is required.
Gratuity
Gratuity is an optional gesture that is often omitted even by satisfied travelers. However, such a meaningful reward to a consistent escort who has gone above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for the participants helps the escort to enjoy his work and maintain his enthusiasm and energy.
Insurance / insurance
The cost of the trip includes Basic travel insurance, which covers various contingencies such as health contingencies (eg injury on a course at an altitude of up to 3,000 m, which requires transportation and hospitalization), missed flight and other cases, even coverage of total cancellation of the trip for an amount up to 5,000 € including cancellation due to covid-19
