- Well established paths & tracks.
- Occasional loose (gravel) surfaces and open pastures
- Ascents/descents of up to one hour.
All ATG trips include facilities and options so that you can arrange to walk as much or as little as you like – or not at all! Simply speak to your Route Manager who will be delighted to help you with public transport or taxi options.
