Since 2006 we have made a special page for families.
We calculate a family as 3 persons for the hikes even if you have more....
We developed already 4 family programs where you start at the Bergtoppers. Each program
has a minimal age for the children. You can sleep in the cabin or in a tent.
From there you walk to some other accommodations where you stay one or more nights.
So the family programs are a combination of a fixed location program and a cabin to cabin program.
Of course you can also choose for a regular self lead program.
This year ....
we planned 7 weeks for familys who want to join other familys.
A group journey for familys with a guide for children older than 9 years and a group journey for familys
without guidance for children older than 6 years. We took the family Dreu program and the family Mul program as basic.
The Group Family Dreu program starts on 3, 17 and 31 july and on 14 august.
The Group Family Mul program starts on 10 july and on 7 and 21 august.
From the age of 4 years
With the family program Visser you spend the first 3 nights at the Bergtoppers and
the next days you go to some other gites. The tracks can be changed depending on the motivation of the children (or
parents). The first 2 days you walk to a real mountain lake en you make a circulair tour.
The next days you go to some other accommodations.
Beacause there are some variabel tracks, the hiking times are also variabel.
From the age of 6 years
With the family program Dreu you also spend the first 3 nights at the Bergtoppers
and the next days you spend the night at a real mountain cabin. Let this week surpise you!
From the age of 8 years
If you choose the family program Berk you spent the first 3 nights at our place and the next
4 nights you go to different gites. The hikes can be changed according to the level and/or the
motivation of the family members. The first 2 days you walk to a lake and you make a circular tour.
The next days you go to some other accommodations. You can choose your hikes so the walking
times are variable.
From the age of 10 years
If you choose the family program Mul you spent the first 4 nights at our place and the next
time you make a 3-days hike where you sleep in 2 different refuges. The last 2 days are guided
and the first day of the 3-days hike you can choose: guided or self lead.
The first 3 walking days you can choose, the last 3 walking days are fixed.
