Excursions |
|
|
According to the program a number of excursions take place in mountainous country with steep and small trails. Especially during the days in the Mattertal, on the Gemmi and in the Lütschinentäler longer hiking periods (approx. 3 hours) have to be expected. We recommend to bring along sturdy footwear (good hiking boots) and outdoor-clothing.
If you have heart trouble or any other health problem that could be aggravated by high altitudes (Jungfraujoch is 3500 meters above sea level), please consult your physician before registering for this excursion. We can assume no responsibility for health problems arising as a result of the excursion. |
