This is a great opportunity for people to experience the mountains and would like to enjoy the amazing raw nature in the wilderness. We meet at the parking lot where we introduce each other and talk about the plan over a map. After a short intro and chat over the itinerary we will get started and go to an outstandingly beautiful mountain (many mountains are possible). Then at a comfortable pace we will make our way up the mountain and enjoy breathtaking nature and views. We have a high chance to see local wildlife, such as eagles and grouse. Depending on the physical ability and fitness of the group, weather, the tour will vary between 4 and 6 hours.
