How a hike with us works

Pick a date, grab a seat, show up in good shoes. Everything else is right here — no fine print.

spoiler: there's a lot of uphill

New dates, twice a month
Each hike runs on dated departures, led by a named guide. New departures open in batches twice a month — sign up the moment a batch opens, because good dates go fast.
Shared cars (or a bus)
Most hikes go by carpool: the guide's car plus the cars of hikers who drive. Every car adds seats — so if a departure looks full, tapping “I'll drive” can open it up for you and others. Some hikes go by bus; then there's no driving question.
What it costs
Every price is guiding + transport, shown separately. Pay in cash on the day, or by bank transfer to 160-0000000012345-45 with your name as the reference. Nothing is charged online.
If plans change
Cancelling is free until 48 hours before departure. Inside 48 hours, the transport part of the price is kept as an advance — the guiding fee comes back to you.
When it's full
Join the waitlist. When a spot opens, it's offered to the next person in line by email, with 12 hours to take it. If they pass, it moves to the next. Strictly in order — no favourites.
Patches and free hikes
Every hike you show up for counts. Hit milestones — distance, climbing, ranges — and you earn patches. Some come with credits for a free tour: to use one, just tell your guide.

How hard is it?

Every hike lists its distance, climb and hours. The grade sums it up:

Easy: Gentle paths and shorter days. Good shoes and some curiosity are all you need.
Moderate: Real climbing and a full day out. Comfortable if you walk or move regularly.
Demanding: Long days, big climbs, sometimes rough or unmarked ground. Come fit and ready to sweat.
