What to expect
Your guide will meet you and tailor the route based on conditions and your fitness level. Expect steady uphill climbing through snow-covered peaks and pine forest, with plenty of stops to catch your breath and take in the landscape. The trail avoids busy marked paths, so you may feel like you've found your own corner of the mountains. On the descent, you have the choice to walk or hire a sled—most people opt for the sled, which turns the return into a fun glide down the mountainside. Weather varies; the tour runs rain, snow or shine, so proper winter clothing is essential.
