There is a hiking programme set up but it is not an obligation to participate; if you are a seasoned mountaineer you might prefer to go rock climbing by yourself instead of hiking with our group.

And also if you want to spend your days relaxedly searching for berries or spotting birds, feel free to do so. In general everybody is encouraged to participate in the group life at the end of the day and in the evening.

The hiking programme for the Crazy Mountain Balance Camp might look something like this (with no obligation to participate):
Day 1 We’ll all meet in the afternoon at the bus stop in the village. Walking up to the hut (T2-T3). Luggage can be brought by jeep.

Day 2 As a warming up we will make a hike (T3) that is not very long and not very technical – but will take us to a 2.750m high peak. Picnic and sunbath on the summit before we go back to the hut.

Day 3 A not so long hike (T3) will bring us to the ruins of an alpine underground ore quarry from past centuries. We will might even take a guided tour through the interior of the mine! Afterwards we’ll hike back to the hut through the forest (T2 and T3).

Day 4 No big hikes; rather chillax, and some meditations and yoga sessions.

Day 5 A long hike, 8 to 9 hours, T3, that will bring us to a dip in the lake and then we’ll ascent another 2.750m high peak before hiking back to the hut.

Day 6 Another day dedicated to meditation, yoga and bodywork.

Day 7 Vacate the hut in the morning and descent back into civilisation. After this hike: the farewell hug in the village!

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.

Although the Crazy Mountain Balance Camp is a relaxed, non-competitive event, mountain hiking is a sports activity that demands some extra attention for two reasons: altitude and safety. You will need a fair condition, good mountain hiking shoes, a daypack, a water bottle, clothing in layers including wind- and rain protection. A pair of hiking poles can be handy but are not necessary.

What if I love mountains but don’t want to join that ‘serious’ hiking? Are there options for me? Yes, there are. You can make easy hikes around the hut, for example. If you’re into nature photography or drawing landscapes, you will find a multitude of subjects within 500 meters from the hut… Most probably, you will not be the only one that will not join the bigger hikes.
