Trekking

Trekking as an activity mainly refers to ascending to higher altitudes. Depending on the exact location and the season it may include additional activities, like climbing or mountaineering ski.

Trekking tracks are accessible throughout the year n Olympus and the Pierian mountains, from different starting points. Due to the demanding nature of high altitudes and the complexity of the activity, we suggest that you are accompanied by experienced certified mountain guides, having very good knowledge of the area and its microclimate, that prioritize your safety.

For those that have set their goals on the peak of Olympus, Mytikas, we suggest alternative paths from different points of entry in the mountain. Some of them require spending the night at one of the mountain huts, but our, west side of the mountain allows for a daily ascent. Through an off road route1,5 - 2 hours one way with a 4x4 car, the altitude of 2500 metres is accessible and from there an equal time trek leads at the top. The second highest peak, Skolió, is readily accessible and does not require the use of safeguards, however claiming Mytikas (2918 m) entails a short more demanding climbing stretch, requiring proper equipment. Ascent on the peaks is possible from June through October for participants from 14 years of age and above with good physical condition.

Our hotel can bring you into contact with local, certified mountain guides with long standing experience for your excursions.
