We run this trip a few times a year. Usually we camp. But it's still cold
in August and we want to be warm at night. Honestly, there is nothing
like a sunny winters day hike. It's our favourite time to hike. Glorious
days, warm cosy nights. This time we'll be sleeping in warm Cabin
"share" style accommodation. (option to stay 2 nights only in private
room when available at additional cost - please enquire). The 3rd night
is dorm share accommodation only.

Supported hiking.
You only have to carry a day pack. We'll transport your main luggage to the
next destination along the track whist you and your group enjoy the
fabulous scenery.
