“Walking in Europe with the timed tickets booked at release”
A walking operator whose main skill is administrative: Alhambra slots, Sagrada tickets and hut beds, booked the day they open.
Sardinia in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.
The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb.
Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Would book with them again.
Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. No hesitation recommending them.
Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Would send friends their way.
The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Solid operator.
Not on this trip and not without preparation. It is roughly forty-five kilometres over four to seven days, unmarked, with abseils, no water and no exit points. It is widely called the hardest trek in Italy and it needs a dedicated guided expedition.
