The proposed outdoor activities are accessible to all without exception. However to help you choose the level of trip that is best suited to your level of fitness we have given them a rating as explained below.

Never overestimate your physical capabilities and choose a trip that you will be able to do without forcing yourself. It is important to know if your selected trip is suitable to your pace of walking, trekking and hiking, biking or riding. If you are booking a whole group then please make sure it is suited to all the group or family members.

Our trips are rated according to a number of factors such as level of required fitness, altitude, ease and difficulty of terrain, level of special skills like climbing experience… We have classified our activities into five progressive levels, from easy to strenuous.

Easy Level: this kind of activity offers an easy pace and has no particular difficulty. The length of the stages does not exceed 15 km per day, including 3 to 4 hours of walking and for heights between 100 and 400 meters. These trips are accessible to all without exception, not forgetting that little preparation is required and always advisable.

Medium Level: these trips offer a medium pace, 4 to 5 hours walking in a day. The height reached is 500 to 800 meters and the distance walked can reach up to 20 km. A little physical preparation during the 2 months before your departure is always necessary for those who have no activity during the year.

Medium-Sporty Level: treks should only be undertaken by those with some previous mountain walking experience. The duration of walking is from 5 to 6 hours. The height varies according to the stages, but they do not exceed 900 meters. The terrain will be in rugged, hilly and mountainous areas. A physical training during the three months preceding the departure for the trip is enough to make such treks.

Sporty Level: on these sporty activities you must be extremely physically fit and are expected to hike or bike 6 to 7 hours over steep or more rugged terrain or in elevations exceeding 1000 meters per day, often in remote locations far from medical facilities. Some stages around 20 km and activities take place in high and rugged mountains. It is always advisable to be in good health and physical condition so as to enjoy these trips.

Strenuous Level: this active trip requires you to have a previous experience and should be in excellent health and top physical condition. The stage requires significant experience of the activity, and the days include stages of 7 to 8 hours of walking. The daily elevation is from 1000 to 2000 meters following stages. These trips take place in rugged terrains; up and down mountain trails that are steep and rocky. This kind of activity is designed for people with technical experienced skills.

Training and Preparation: whatever the level of trip or activity you have selected either easy or difficult, it is always desirable and advisable to do a little physical preparation before leaving for your adventure. It is a well known fact that a prepared and trained adventurer will get a better level of enjoyment due to their mental preparation and improved physical fitness.  If you can, it is best to start your training at least two months before your trip, if at all possible. Make sure you include ups and downs if you are preparing for a mountain trek.
