You will trek approximately 120km in 9 days with a free day in the middle to relax your legs and visit local towns. There are some significant ascents and descents.
We visit pretty towns and charming villages via quiet trails and stay at good 2-3-star hotels for six of the 10 nights. There is one night at an Austrian guesthouse and three nights at refuges high up in the mountains enabling us to soak up the views and ambiance of this region. The trails are well-travelled but not maintained and can be rough underfoot in places.
Your main luggage is transferred from hotel to hotel so there is only the need for light backpacking while we stay at the refuges.
