EXPERIENCES

MOUNTAIN MOVEMENT IN GREECE. FROM FOCUSED SESSIONS TO MULTI-DAY TRAVERSES.

SESSION

MODERATE
·
2–3 hours
·
+900m
TAYGETOS RIDGE PUSH
Laconia, Peloponnese

The first night we covered 34km. The second, 28. By the third we had slowed to 18km — not from fatigue, but from something harder to name. The terrain had started to require attention we hadn’t budgeted for.

SESSION

ENTRY
·
1.5–2 hours

+620m
PELION MORNING ASCENT
Magnesia, Central Greece

The first night we covered 34km. The second, 28. By the third we had slowed to 18km — not from fatigue, but from something harder to name. The terrain had started to require attention we hadn’t budgeted for.

DAY

DEMANDING
·
6–8 hours
·
±1,400m
VIKOS GORGE DESCENT

Something has changed in how we talk about difficulty. The word “challenge” has been laundered into a marketing term — sanitised and repackaged until it implies nothing. We want to push back on that.

DAY

DEMANDING

PELION COAST-TO-RIDGE
Magnesia, Central Greece

Begin at sea level on the eastern coast. Finish on the Pelion ridge with the Aegean on both sides and your legs fully used. A full day of varied, sustained movement.
