We plan your hiking tour in the Alps or in NorwaySelf-guided tours from cabin to cabin, trekking or daytrips A meticulous planning takes time: - Is the hike adapted for beginners? Are there vertiginous sections? Will there still be snow? Is the distance too long?
- Are there accommodations? email and phone?
- Which hiking map covers the area? Which equipment is necessary?
- Are there worthwhile detours? Points of interest?
- What are the timetables for local buses? For the funicular?
- You can find everything on the internet but the search is time-consuming and the interesting sites might be in German, Italian, French or Norwegian!
