Treading with safety & protecting the environment

Most Mt. Gramos trails, as the ones we suggested above, are clean, well marked and additional equipment is not necessary. But, in the Gramos alpine areas, the weather is rather cold and unpredictable, even during the summer, the wind is always strong and appropriate
clothes are necessary. Storms and lightning can be dangerous, especially in the flat, treeless alpine meadows and hikes during periods of bad weather should be avoided.

Naturally, we have nothing to fear from wild animals and if we come across herd dogs all
we have to do is stay calm. This way we can enjoy our hikes on the Gramos Mountain with safety but always consistently and with respect.

Let us make our presence as discreet as
possible: noise and every form of aggravation can have damaging effects on wildlife. In general, let us try to not act as invaders/conquerors nor as passive observers.

Let us actively explore the land, discover traces, small organisms, details that provide a different feel and relation with the landscape.
