Tourski & Splitboard Georgië zoals niemand hem doet.
Geen standaard route omhoog en terug, maar een volledige 360° rond de berg.
Vier klimaatzones, weg van de massadrukte en met een ideale opbouw voor maximale acclimatisatie.
Vertrouwen van reizigers. Niet alleen van ons.
De 360° route is een absolute aanrader. Waar de massa dezelfde paden volgt, loop je dagenlang in stilte over de flanken van de berg. Fantastisch team van dragers en gidsen!
Het voorbereidingsprogramma en de hypoxietrainingen bij Vertical Horizons hebben echt het verschil gemaakt op hoogte. De begeleiding van start tot top was onberispelijk.
Meer dan alleen een top bereiken. Het samenspel tussen de gidsen, het kookteam en de groep maakte dit tot een van de mooiste reiservaringen van mijn leven.
