This tour is designed for people who want to go the extra mile. Sometimes just a little bit of extra effort but sometimes a very demanding venture. We aim to bring together our favourite stages combined with the most panoramic summits. We will follow the official High Scardus main trail but add a bit of challenge along the way. Starting from Stage 1 and finishing in Stage 7, the trail provides wild and magnificent mountain landscapes and secluded villages. And it definitely offers originality and authenticity. This guided tour will explore the most attractive parts of Sharr Mountains without losing much altitude with overnight in villages as close to the trail as it can get.
