Accessibility & physical requirements

This is a mountain walking tour and requires a moderate level of fitness. Routes include natural trails, uneven and rocky terrain, and significant elevation gain and loss.

Please note

Due to the mountainous terrain, this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility.

We recommend

  • Sturdy walking boots with ankle support and good grip
  • Comfort walking on hills, loose stone and uneven paths for several hours
  • Water and sun protection — shade is limited on the higher sections
  • Trekking poles, which many walkers find make the descents easier

If you or anyone in your group has specific accessibility needs, tell us before you book. We will give you an honest answer about what this tour can accommodate — including saying so when the answer is that it can't.
