Just select the ads through the different filters and search engine:

  • physical level:
    • Quiet: 1h to 4h maximum single walk
    • Dynamic: 4h to 6h relatively simple walk. You must have a good physical condition. A little preparation before is recommended if you do not practice any sports activity.
    • Sporty: 5h to 7h walking quite demanding. You practice sport regularly and are in excellent physical condition.
    • Engaged: You are a great sportsman and look for physical commitment
  • month when you want to leave ( in the search engine)

  • price per person
 
If you like a trek, you can book it by specifying the dates that suit you and other details that you think are necessary during the payment. An account creation on our platform is necessary for any reservation.
Once paid, the guide has three days to validate your reservation. If this is not done, no debit will be made. In the event of validation, the cancellation will be free if it takes place more than 90 days before the beginning of the stay, otherwise the totality of the sum will be due.
Once the trip is over, you can evaluate the guide (he himself can evaluate you).
