INFORMATION

Price per person € 390 (VAT included) Includes 4 nights accommodation (2 in mountain shelters and 2 in hotel) full board during the stay, guides, Carl Zeiss optical equipment, insurance Requirements to participate in the activity safely and with the maximum enjoyment:
• Good physical condition: Although the routes do not involve a great technical difficulty, some days must overcome large slopes, around 1200 m. The pace will be slow and many stops will be made so that we do not miss any detail of the exuberant nature of the Picos de Europa, but even so it is convenient to be in an acceptable physical form to be able to enjoy the experience. We must not forget that Picos is a medium as great as overwhelming, unfit for those who have vertigo or fear of height
• Know how to live with the right thing: During the days of the journey we will walk through one of the wildest and most authentic means we have left, spending the night in high mountain shelters, where services in general tend to be very few. The last two nights we will sleep in a Hotel, where surely we will value more than usual a good hot shower
• Material: It is recommended to carry a backpack only with the essentials, to have to carry the right and not carry more weight than necessary, but without forgetting the essential. It will be necessary mountain footwear and suitable trekking poles that can help us with the unevenness
A Picos we will enjoy, see, feel, live and surprise us with the most authentic nature of the high mountains. Its fascinating fauna and flora and its exciting landscapes will not leave us indifferent. And why not, to disconnect and forget about the world
