However, if you prefer structures with higher levels of comfort, do not hesitate to contact us for a tailor-made offer!
We will find the most suitable solution for you!

Some tours include overnight stays in alpine bivouacs that do not have any type of comfort (except mattresses and blankets). They are unique experiences, but it is necessary to know how to adapt.

All dinners and breakfasts are included and available directly at the refuge.
Lunches are also included and will be packed.
