Die Tour geht über ca. 10km, was sehr anstrengend sein sollte. Leider war es in der Beschreibung so nicht dargestellt....es wurde trotzdem spontan für uns umdisponiert, sodass wir nur den leichteren Aufstieg in Anspruch nehmen konnten. Vielen lieben Dank dafür. Trotzdem war es für uns Anfänger nicht einfach, sodass wir unsere Zeit dafür brauchten. Guite und Fahrer, sehr nett, deshalb trotzdem 5 Sterne von uns.

En fantastisk vandring upp till toppen av bergen. Sarah var en jättebra guide, som tog sig tid att prata med alla i gruppen, och också lära ut lite kuriosa om platsen, djuren och naturen! Kan starkt rekommendera denna tur, men var uppmärksamma på att det är en någorlunda krävande sådan. Om ni har sjukdomar/rörelsehinder, säg det till Sarah innan start - tillfälle för detta ges!

Das war eine sehr schöne Tour mit Sarah und Ninou, dem Fahrer! Sie hat das alles sehr liebevoll und engagiert durchgeführt. Ich würde die Tour immer wieder machen! Die Stufen sind machbar, aber man sollte schon fit sein! Das Wetter war sehr angenehm sonnig und windstill. Immer wieder gerne, auf jeden Fall machen, wenn es vom sportlichen Aspekt passt:)
