In the Epirus region of north-western Greece you’ll find Zagori, a cluster of 46 stone villages (the Zagorochoria) and also a beautiful natural area with great opportunities for outdoor lovers.
In the region there are two natural parks, alpine lakes and rivers, the deepest gorge in the world (‘Vikos gorge’) and many peaks above 2500 m.
Besides, there are different climbing areas that will delight both beginners or advanced climbers.
On this 3-day trip we’ll visit three main climbing sectors:

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
