Caspin Journeys tours are enjoyed by a wide variety of active people with general good health.
We do encounter a variety of terrain and gradients vary so we set a comfortable pace
and give everyone time to enjoy each aspect of the day.
Some people walk at a faster pace while others like to chat or take photographs.
Some people like the ups and others prefer the downs.
Don't worry,you may be ahead going up and at the back on the down!
DO IT ALL, OR DO AN OPTION
There is usually the option to do less than a full days walk. And if you need a day off you can choose to do that too and either stay at the hotel or travel in our minibus enjoying the views! At evening briefings, we go through the next day’s itinerary and explain the distance, terrain, and the ups and downs!
GOOD FOOTWEAR MAKES THE DAY
Thick-soled, ankle-supporting shoes/boots are essential for our style of hiking.
GET READY FOR YOUR TOUR
Most healthy people with a reasonable fitness level can achieve our walks. But you will get much more out of it if you train accordingly beforehand.
All our tours involve walking in archaeological sites and medieval villages with cobbled streets.
Get out walking every day on varied terrain. Always walk up and down stairs instead of taking elevators! If you cannot exercise outdoors, then go to a gym and use treadmills and stair machines. The more you do the more you will enjoy your tour!
Easy - Leisurely
Walking up and down little winding, cobbled streets during visits to hill towns. No hiking!
In a Tuscan Country Kitchen - well it's all about food, wine and all the 'accoutrements' that make for a fantastic dinner party! Amazing for foodies!
Fairly Easy
Walks and hikes through gentle terrain, 3-5 hours across fields, along coastal trails with little elevation gain/loss; altitude is not a factor. Occasionally slightly uneven paths and trails.
Activity that involves walks and hikes mostly on unpaved trails and paths, 3-5 hours through hilly terrain with typical elevation gains and losses of 350-600m. There may be occasional steep and uneven sections of trails.
Corsica - longer walks, a few rocky bits; yes Antonio is into this tour big time!
Challenging
Full day hikes, approximately 4-6 hours through mountainous terrain with significant elevation gains and losses (600-900m). Terrain may be rugged with uneven footpaths; the average altitude is generally no more than 1500m.
Full day hikes, 5-8 hours, requiring good stamina and some trekking through rugged mountainous terrain with steep climbs and descents of as much as 1500m, altitudes that can exceed 2000m and some rugged uneven footpaths. For full enjoyment of these tours good fitness is required.
The Dolomites - it's all about the big outdoors; up, down, trails, paths, steps!
Amalfi Coast - the Jet-Set tour extraordinaire; up steps, down steps, stony paths!
