4-day trip – the ultimate unwind

The 4-day trip is for those who want to fully unwind and de-stress. If you really want to enjoy everything the resort and the interior have to offer, this is the trip to book.

The first and last days are filled in much the same way as on the 3-day trip, and the times for breakfast, lunch and dinner are identical. What sets this trip apart is how the second and third days are filled. If you'd like to spend a night in a base camp, for example, there is now plenty of room for that. If you want to join even more of our activities, you have an extra day to enjoy them. But you could also choose to build more rest into the programme, with fewer excursions and activities per day. On the 4-day trip you stay with us long enough to see plenty of our beautiful resort and the stunning interior, even with a more relaxed daily programme.
