Booking details:
When purchasing this trip, you must indicate in ' in which week you want the trip to take place. It is also possible to choose specific dates on which you would like to make the trip. However, we recommend building in some flexibility by specifying a preferred week number. Booking early increases the chance that the desired dates will be available. If the dates you specified are not available, we will let you know as soon as possible. Fortunately, Nicky knows the area so well that there are many options.
With every booking you will receive a welcome package with one card and goodies for the number of participants. So, for example, if you book for 3 people, you will also receive goodies for 3 people! :)

What does a typical day look like during the multi-day hut tour?
In the morning you choose which route you want to walk today. There is always a short and a long route so you can choose what suits you that day! We will have a nice breakfast, let this sit for a moment, pack our things, warm-up relaxed in the pure fresh mountain air and it is time to start trail running. We enjoy the most beautiful views and take a break here and there until we arrive at the next hut. Here you can freshen up, if you feel like you can do an extra round of training afterwards or you can choose to relax, read a book and enjoy the delicious food at the hut. Afterwards we do an instructed stretching session together to calm down our minds and do good to our muscles. In the evening, a delicious 3-course menu is ready for you so that you get enough calories for the next day. And then at 10pm it's 'Hüttenruhe' so sleep time!
