excess of 10-12%. Less steep, but long climbs at altitudes exceeding
2250 m (7500 feet) also quality for difficult. Daily vertical totals

Our Environmental Philosophy
As outdoor holidays grow in popularity, more and more
rubbish is being left unnecessarily in some beautiful areas, in spite of
promises by tour operators to curb this. Dragoman Outdoor Activities
Center adopts a ‘Pack it in - Pack it out’, 'Soft Activity & Camping' and
'Leave No Trace' policy on all our holidays. To meet this end, all rubbish
that is not combustible or biodegradable (i.e. metal, glass and often
plastic) will be carried out to a suitable disposal point. For example, we
collect all rubbish on the trails and at campsites (and not only ours)!
Any non-burnable or non-biodegradable rubbish is carried back to Kas for
proper disposal.
