BUT BE CAREFUL
Every week is unique...
We always try to adapt our program to the individual group members as best as possible. For this purpose, we have a form filled out in advance with personal information, previous sporting knowledge, diets, etc. Unfortunately we cannot influence the weather either. For this reason and depending on the group configuration, our program can vary from week to week. A variety of rocks, mountains and hiking trails... Opportunity to visit a chestnut farm, one of the largest caves in the area, a cooking class, a beer brewery, a sculpture gallery... Countless restaurants, cafés and bars... and and and... are waiting for you!
...and because we can't possibly see everything in one week, it's worth coming back!
