Good to know
This suits anyone who wants a proper mountain experience but prefers not to camp overnight or spend days away from town. You need at least moderate fitness — steep terrain and sustained elevation are involved. It's not suitable if you have spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or are pregnant. Specialised infant seats are available if you're bringing very young children, though a full day of trekking with toddlers will be demanding. The early 9am start means an early hotel pickup. Tip for the guide is not included and is customary to budget for separately. Some trek options (like Frey Loop) charge extra for ski lift tickets on top of the listed price.
