If you are an experienced hiker with enough confidence to hike up to one of the lower refuges of the Olympus massif on your own, then we can guide you the following day on the next stretch of your tour, and choose together the best route to experience the most famous mountain in Greece.
Starting point options include Refuge A, Refuge Petrostrouga, and Refuge Koromilia. You would need to hike there yourself and spend the night. Then, the following day, we would pick you up and guide you on the alpine parts of the mountain in order to ensure your safety and enhance your experience.
We would pick you up at the hut, then follow the route that we agree on, and finally, return either to the hut or to Prionia.
Some of the routes that you can choose include:
Refuge A – Muses Plateau – Petrostrouga Refuge – Gortsia – Prionia
Refuge A – Muses Plateau – Refuge A
Refuge A – Mytikas Peak – Refuge A
Petrostrouga Refuge – Muses Plateau – Refuge A
These are some suggestions, but we can create a flexible itinerary and vary the duration of the hike and the intensity, depending on your preference and level. Trail running is also an option.

All was well organized. The guides took care for everything

Vagelis was a great friendly guide tailoring the hike to our higher ability. He also provided us with loads of information about the local peaks/walks, history and hiking culture. He kept us hydrated and safe on the mountain. Hiking Greece was quick to respond to emails and was very professional. They could do with providing a bit more information on what to take and route without having to be promoted. Highly recommend.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
