Booking, step by step

How booking works

Fixed-date weekend getaways leave from Lviv. This is the whole process, from your first look at the departure calendar to the morning you meet your host group.

    Weekend getaways run on fixed dates. The departure calendar lists each date, the seats still open, the physical difficulty grade and the total per person in hryvnia.

  2. Send a seat request

    Fill in the request form with your name, phone number and chosen date. It takes about two minutes and no payment is taken at this stage.

  3. We confirm your place

    A host replies within one working day with the exact meeting point, the trip pack and the payment details for your seat.

  4. Pay and get your trip pack

    Settle the total in hryvnia, then receive the route notes, the packing list and the contact for your host group.

We took the Friday night train from Lviv and were standing on the ridge by ten the next morning. Twelve of us, two guides, and lunch of bryndza and rye bread at the top. I have walked these mountains for years and still came home with two plant names I did not know.
