HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

The Spanish Pyrenees - a mountainous region bordering France and Spain has a rich and diverse culture and history dating back even beyond the Romans and Greeks.

The Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido is the region we are exploring and is a protected area. It is one of the highlights of the Pyrenees and its mountain landscape is characterised with sharp rugged mountains and deep canyons with raised mountain plateaus.
There is a charming blend of ancient mountain villages, jagged and dramatic rocky peaks, lush valley pastures and unique alpine wildlife. These ancient mountains are much older than the Alps.

The aridity of the upper mountains contrasts with the green valleys with pastures and woods, where the fresh mountain rivers gush from high altitudes with spectacular waterfalls along their routes, through canyons and gorges until the reach the sea near the Bay of Biscay

Our trip will see highlights of this region, with hikes that take in lakes, summits, waterfalls and woodland.

These are tough mountain hikes involving long uphill/downhill sections on steep and uneven ground as well as walking/scrambling/climbing over rocks and boulders. Some of the trails are not suitable for anyone who suffers from vertigo and an above average level of fitness is required.

Discover one of Albania’s great gems - the coastline that extends along the Adriatic and Ionian sea. A dreamy mix of clear blue waters and pebbly beaches, untouched bays and caves waiting to be explored in our kayaks. Join us as we discover this unique blend of coastal shores, cliffs and walks on trails parallel to the Ionian sea with some beautiful panoramic views.

Hike the stunning coastal trail, visit the 100m deep Gjipe Bay canyon and swim in the bright blue waters of Albania. Get a close glimpse of a different pace of life and enjoy the famous Albanian hospitality and local traditions. Albania is still quieter than the dense tourist crowds of neighbouring Croatia, now is the perfect time to explore, before this gem becomes less "undiscovered".

HIGHLIGHTS

• Stay on the coast in Dhermi - the Albanian riviera
• Enjoy a gentle but scenic hike following the White Trail to the St. Andreas Bay and swim in the dazzling blue waters
• Kayak along the coast of Dhermi
• Explore the Pirate’s cave from the inside
• Visit a tea shop in Himara to find out how a traditional Albanian dessert is made
• Spend a night in the vibrant capital Tirana
• A small group limited to just 16 with an English speaking local Albanian Guide

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

Nestled between the turquoise waters of Italy and northern Greece, Albania is a relatively undiscovered gem - think Croatia 10/20 years ago without the Croatian crowds. From pebble/sandy Mediterranean beaches to rugged mountains, cliffs and caves it offers a tranquil and diverse experience in nature. No need to compromise between a mountain or a beach holiday since this trip offers the best of both worlds. We enjoy the scenery beneath the green Ceraunian mountains or so called "thunder-split peaks" as we kayak through the stunning crystal waters from Dhermi to Gjipe Bay.

This trip provides a balance between tranquillity and adventure as we have planned some exciting and optional activities. Choose from bathing under the Albanian sun or hire out power boats or do other watersports on the coast. You can also self explore the area or just enjoy the beach and sea.

Driving - There is several hours each way to the coast and back, also some twisty mountain roads.

Join us on a journey to hikers' paradise - Georgia. Nestled on the edge of Europe and Asia, it’s known as "the Balcony of Europe" and holds a unique mixture of diverse scenery - from the highest peaks of the continent to gentle vine clad valleys and ancient settlements. A country with ancient traditions and warm hearted people that is believed to be the birthplace of wine.

Experience the essence of Georgia on this week long trip in the heart of the Great Caucasus Mountains. Dive into the unspoiled beauty of the Svaneti region - hike to giant glaciers, admire the mesmerising alpine Koruldi lakes, and visit the highest permanently inhabited UNESCO village in Europe. We will be staying in the mountain town of Mestia that has best preserved the colourful Georgian culture and heritage and we will visit the vibrant town of Kutaisi, which is also one of the oldest towns in Europe.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Visit Georgia - the birthplace of wine and home to Europe’s highest mountain
• Reach the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe - the ancient Ushguli
• Hike to the magnificent Ushba waterfall - towering at 2200m above sea level
• Hike to a mountain glacier
• Explore the medieval Svaneti region - a UNESCO World Heritage Site

• A fine balance between hiking and culture to fully experience the magic of Georgia
• A small group limited to just 16 with 2 English speaking local Georgian Mountain Guides to keep it really special

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

Mountainous, warm, colourful and vibrant is the best way to describe Georgia. Caught between two worlds, the country is a spectacular blend of European and Middle Eastern culture with immense natural diversity.

We have chosen the spectacular UNESCO listed mountain region of Svaneti that is preserved in time due to its isolated location surrounded by the Great Caucasus Mountains. We will venture to the base of the highest peak in Georgia, admire Chalaadi and Shkhara glaciers and explore the picturesque village of Ushguli dating back to the 9th century. We'll also enjoy the reflection of the snow capped mountains in the mirror like Koruldi lakes and hike to one of the highest waterfalls in Georgia.

Amazing Georgia keeps so many treasures that it deserves a full week to truly experience it all - hike around spectacular untouched scenery while also getting a taste of the amazing local cuisine and hospitality. Let's not forget the unique wine tradition dating 8000 years back.
