Description
Those who are experienced climbers, every time they are there enjoy every moment as if it is their first time...
Especially the three-day ascent to Mount Olympus is a unique experience for anyone who wants to get to know the mountain of the gods up close, without reaching its limits, as the three days give the opportunity to enjoy the routes, share the hours of hiking, and be enchanted by the smells and images that this mountain generously gives!
A three-day trip that gives you the opportunity to see the mountain from both sides, to make a "small circle", to sleep in two different shelters, and to return home full of emotions, tired, but not exhausted!
Olympus is the highest mountain in the country with an altitude of 2918 meters (Mytikas peak) and the second-highest in the Balkans.High, rocky peaks stretch across the horizon and paths in all directions to choose from!
Olympus is a difficult mountain, with large altitude differences (ascent) and requires attention and respect from everyone, experienced and beginners.Especially the last part of the mountain to the peaks requires attention and experience.
Combine your good mood and good physical condition (moderate and above), with the experience of the Happy Mountain executives and you will find the way to climb the most imposing mountain in Greece! It takes effort and effort!
After all, the ultimate satisfaction we feel every time we return from there, is that we managed to raise children and adults to the top - basically beginners and young people on the mountain! We managed to give satisfaction to all these people who trust us every time! We managed to bring people close to nature, who at some point will return, alone or with friends!
So if you want to experience one of the strongest mountaineering experiences within borders, read in detail the program of the three days...

NOTE..The top is not an end in itself! We will approach the top of Mytikas only if the weather allows and only those who are able to attempt it.The tour leader has the right not to allow the climb to the top of a person who either does not follow the instructions or considers that he is not able to complete the attempt to the top.Everyone's safety is everything!
