FAQs

How fit do I need to be to do this hike?

You need to be in good physical shape and able to walk up and down for three hours. You don’t need to be very athletic but you need to be a little fit anyway. There is a little steep and rocky stretch but not dangerous. We always recommend doing a minimum of physical activity before going on a hike.

What is the difference between hiking and walking

A hike tends to be on trails through mountains or trails through bush or country terrain. Trails are usually visible paths, but terrain and trails are rougher and sometimes rocky. There may be some steep trails and it is important to read the features in each proposal. Hiking generally involves walking up and down rough terrain so you need to be in general in a good shape and fit.

A walk tends to be done on defined paths and reasonably smooth surfaces without too many obstacles in the way. Walking tends to not require any special equipment, other than a day pack with the essentials. Walks are shorter and can be enjoyed by any age group with relative fitness.

What about food and water

We suggest always bringing some food (you need to be on site with food already purchased) such as: a sandwich, a fruit or dried fruit and a litre of water.

What about the car trip?

The proposal includes the car trip with the guide from Milan. Therefore, the travel cost of the guide is included in the price you pay. The cost must be paid even if you do not take advantage of the car ride as the guide has to travel. By leaving Milan with your guide, you have the opportunity to travel at a truly advantageous cost and without time restrictions with means of transport

Is very steep the stretch leading to the peak?

there is a little stretch of the route (about 500 m) on a steep and gravelly path. There are no very exposed or dangerous sections and the guide will be able to help and advise you.
