TranslateMachine Translated
Hello you travel enthusiasts ! We, two friends (m,35 ; w 28 & possibly Labrador bitch Luna) have from 27.04 - 24.05.2019 to drive through the Alps by car. On the program are hiking, experiencing nature, photography, water sports (eg canyoning, rafting, diving-who can), etc.. We are easy-going, uncomplicated contemporaries and would be happy if we would still join nature & outdoor enthusiasts :) For the trip we have already done all the research and organization. Focal points of the route are as shown on the map: the regions of Interlaken, Grenoble, Zermatt, Lugano, Lake Garda & the Dolomites. So all you need is time, your own car, desire and a certain fitness :) Deadline for registration is February 20 - because depending on the size of the group, accommodation adjustments will have to be made. We have estimated the cost at a good 2000 euros, depending on the extent of the activities. Everything can, nothing must logically be included ;) Depending on preferences, the group can also share times.... We look forward to your feedback ⛰☀️🙆♀️🙋♂️ (The 2000 euros are estimated costs for: Accommodation, self-catering, gas & paid activities. There will be a deposit of 200,- Euro as security, this would be retained in case of cancellation in order not to charge the resulting costs to the group).

Intended booking Airbnb accommodation depending on the size of the travel group. Principle: as cheap as necessary, as nice as possible :)

Your Booking includes free protection from Trip cancellations.
