✈️ Logistics

Each participant is responsible for buying their own plane ticket, ideally at least one month in advance. This confirms your spot and allows me to arrange the car rental and accommodation for the group.


Standard disclaimer:

  • The organizer is no professional guide. Participants are responsible for themselves, must do their own research about the route, and must be able to navigate by themselves (in case the groups split for some reason, for example).
  • GPX files will be provided
  • Unjoining allowed but be respectful toward the organizer
  • Whatsapp group: will be created
