HIKING DIFFICULTY LEVELS

How do you determine the difficulty of a walk?

Classifying an event isn't always an easy task, which is why we've applied the criteria of common sense and reasonableness here. subtitle and with the description of the route itself, give a rough idea of the level of difficulty that awaits walkers.

The events of Walking have been designed for different types of people, so all that is needed is adequate physical fitness and, above all, a special love and motivation for walking. The Walking determines the level of difficulty of each event according to the distance, the type of terrain and, where possible, the forecast weather conditions.

If you're still not sure, our contact details are always available. And with more or less difficulty, come along and have fun in contact with nature.

Scale used: 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest level and 5 the highest)

Level 1

Level 1 walks are aimed at everyone, they are those where you don't walk long distances or up steep slopes and they usually take place on even ground.

Level 2

Level 2 hikes are still aimed at everyone, but the distances are a little longer and there may be some climbs and descents that require a little more effort and physical skill, although you don't need to be very physically prepared.

Level 3

Level 3 walks are suitable for the vast majority of people, but it's important to be in good health and reasonably fit. In addition, the motivation to overcome one obstacle or another is always an asset. It's normal to encounter some steep gradients and possibly some slightly more difficult terrain, although nothing transcendent.

Level 4

Level 4 walks are aimed at anyone who is relatively fit and does some physical exercise or walks regularly. These walks may have steep gradients at various stages of the route and sometimes rougher terrain.

Level 5

Level 5 hikes are aimed at people who usually hike, who are well prepared physically, who are able to withstand the effort and who have high levels of motivation and endurance. On these hikes there are usually uneven areas and the terrain is bound to be technically difficult. In this case, we're usually talking about hikes of more than 30 kilometres.
