Difficulty levels
Suitable for all levels, Xplore Trails actively encourages everyone to experience our mountain tours. From beginners to advanced hikers, everyone can take part in our magical adventure!
Easy
Easy hikes are designed for everyone to enjoy. They include routes lasting 1–2 hours that involve uphill or downhill walking.
Moderate
Moderate hikes are designed for hikers who want a more demanding hike. Participants should be in good physical condition and able to hike for 3–5 hours a day.
Difficult
Difficult hiking trips require previous experience in mountain terrain. They may include some steep climbs and last 5 hours or more.
Advanced
Demanding hikes are designed for those seeking a challenge. Hikers must be able to handle steep, sustained trails, often throughout the entire day. They must be at a high level of physical fitness.
How to choose your level
Choose the grade that matches your skills, fitness and expectations.
Be realistic
Assess yourself without overestimating your abilities. Always hike within your limits: mountain hiking carries real risks.

Full text of the guide
We are delighted to welcome visitors from all over the world and of any skill level. This means a varied range of routes, conditions and difficulty grades, which is why we need a little help to understand your level.
In the hiking grading guide below, routes are classified into four difficulty levels (easy, moderate, difficult and advanced). It shows what our routes are like and helps you better assess your hiking level. When assessing yourself, we urge you to be realistic and not to overestimate your abilities. Always hike within your limits, as mountain hiking is a potentially dangerous activity that carries significant risks. Please bear in mind that, however good any classification system may be, trail surfaces vary throughout the year – especially during or after heavy rain. Choose your level wisely, but if you need help with your assessment, we are here to guide you.
