Getting here in winter

The highland routes are not serviced in winter. During the winter season, from October 1 to June 14, we can only be reached with a 4x4 super jeep.

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!
