Trip Levels

With a selection of private and shared adventure options available, we’re here to help you find the trip that suits you best. Each holiday is graded from 1 to 4. 1 is easy – for anyone; 2 is moderate – for anyone of any age used to some regular walking; 3 is moderately strenuous – for those with a measure of fitness or the unfit who are prepared to feel tired at times; 4 fairly strenuous – for the keen walker. 

These grades are not just based on the length of each day’s walk: the nature of the terrain, the altitude, the overall length of trek and travel demands are taken into account. For those with reduced mobility we would recommend our Level 1 holidays as being the most suitable, but please let us know your needs before booking and we will provide details of suitability for any given tour. 

The detailed itinerary, available by download, is highly informative, including specifics on activities, elevation, hiking terrain, and travel conditions. Our Destination Experts are also available to answer any questions and guide you toward the trip that matches your interests.
