Baggage transport
Your baggage will be transported daily between accommodation by our logistics vehicle. You are allowed 1 soft, sports type bag with all your belongings inside, no heavier than 10kg (for your own ease and comfort carrying your bag upstairs and in the dormitories, we do not recommend rigid suitcases, heavy or large baggage and wheeled bags are often banned in refuges).
If you wish to prolong your holiday, we can safely hold another bag for you which you may leave with us at the departure point and that will be dropped at the end point with your other baggage.
