Epic experience

Getting here in winter

In winter, we offer transfers through the challenging snow-covered roads in a professionally-driven super jeep. Buckle up for an awe-inspiring voyage through breathtaking landscapes.

Heart-stopping adventure

An unforgettable journey

During the winter months, the highland routes transform into a rugged, snow-covered terrain. From October 1 to June 14, these remote trails are left unserviced, making them accessible only to the most prepared. To navigate the icy roads, deep snowdrifts, and unpredictable weather, you’ll need a 4x4 super jeep equipped for extreme conditions.

You can reserve a seat in an unstoppable mountain-terrain coach, driven by a professional who loves to share their knowledge about this adrenalin-fueled adventure. Prepare for the ride of your life!
