    Martin

    Asked on January 11th, 2025

    I would like to know the level of difficulty of the tour especially: is it a hiking tour (via ferrata) or just a trail tour? The Height difference done by walking on the second day is it really 1.100 meters? Not clear in the prescription. In case I am going to book the tour just for me (1 person). Is that possible, tour will be done anyway?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • BuCountry ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The tour is a trail hike and does not include via ferrata. The altitude difference of 1,100 meters refers to the fact that the hike starts at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level and involves a descent to the Paul Valley. Yes, it is possible to book the tour for just one person. In this case, the tour will be conducted privately, ensuring a personalized experience. However, an additional fee will be required.
