Quick facts about the trip
This is the trip for those who enjoy active days, physical challenge, and being close to nature. You do not need to be in peak physical condition or have climbing experience, but you should be accustomed to longer hikes and significant elevation gain. Good balance and confidence in rugged terrain is an advantage.
In the more technical sections, experienced local mountain guides provide instruction and necessary safety securing. At the same time, you must be prepared for a trip where plans can change along the way, and where simple accommodation and few facilities are part of the experience.
The groups are small, normally with a maximum of 8 participants per guide. Selvaggio Blu attracts hikers from all over the world, and the group may therefore consist of participants of several different nationalities. If there are multiple guides, multiple groups may hike parts of the trail together, with a maximum of 12 participants in total.
Simple standard of accommodation
The first and last nights you will stay at a B&B/hotel. The other nights will be spent in simple camps or tents – some nights with access to a shower and toilet, other nights without. Here, nature and the location provide the luxury.
During the hikes, you carry a daypack of approx. 30–40 liters with what you need during the day, such as water, lunch, and necessary equipment. The rest of the luggage is transported between the accommodation sites. At the start of the trip, you will be given a 60-liter container for personal luggage, sleeping bag, and mattress.
The tour is conducted with certified and highly experienced Italian mountain guides.
