Disclaimer: This mobile network situation was how it was in the past years and the last time we were here it was still like this. However I can’t guarantee that no telecom provider would put a new antenna somewhere that would change things. In all honesty, this is very unlikely because there is no economic interest to put extra antennas in this very empty valley.

The hiking programme for the Crazy Mountain Balance Camp might look something like this:

Day 1 We’ll all meet in the afternoon at the bus stop in the village. Walking up to the hut (T1). Luggage can be brought by jeep (but not all the way to the house, still some 5 mins to walk with luggage).
Day 2 An easy hike that is not over steep slopes and always on non-challenging trails (T1 and T2). We’ll have a picnic in the fields, enjoy the magnificent views and do a meditation during the hike, bonding with the mountains . This day will serve as a warming up.
Day 3 A long hike, technically more challenging also (T3, small parts of T4). We will leave early in the morning, hike to an incredibly beautiful mountain lake, picnic, meditate and have a swim. If we feel fit, we will hike to a 2.500m high summit, and we will hike back to our hut. In total this excursion will take us some 10 to 12 hours.
Day 4 No big hikes; rather chillax, do some meditations and yoga sessions. Also we might explore our creativity, expressing ourselves interacting with the mountains and trees, through for example photography, making rock structures, or whatever inspires us. It’s about the process, not about the result.
Day 5 From the hut we will directly ascend a summit that is ‘only’ 2.350m high, but the ascent is steep. The hike to the summit (yoga at the summit!) and at the other side down (intermezzo: swimming and sunbath at another lake) and then back through the valley will take us some 12 hours again. (T3, small parts of T4).
Day 6 Another day dedicated to meditation, yoga and bodywork.
Day 7 Vacate the hut in the morning, than yoga and maybe a small hike. After this hike and a last meditation: the farewell group hug!

Weather conditions in the mountains can change fast and often. For this reason, the program can be changed according to what is safe and enjoyable.
