FAQs
Which equipment?
It can be cold in the mountains, no matter which season. Therefore you
always should carry warm pullovers and anoraks with you. We also advise
to bring a thermos and a solid luncheon box as you might not always be
in reach of a mountain cabin or inn for your meals. You will get an
equipent list up front to get an idea what's needed.
What documents do I get for my hiking trip?
You will receive one set of travel information for your hiking trip per room . In this package you will find arrival information and general information (leaflets, information on attractions, timetables, etc.) and an accommodation list. Of course, material such as route maps, route descriptions, etc., so you can optimally prepare for the tours.
On our original tours you will receive a book of the route with image navigation. We have created a map section for each junction and summarized this in a book. On some trips, the route material (maps, route description) is provided on site at the tour information meeting or at the first Hotel.

What is the deadline for changes?
You can change your booking for Eurohike Original tours until 14
days before travelling – provided that the hotels can meet your
requirements – for following services: number of rooms, kind of room,
hotel category, catering. We have to charge you with a service fee depending on the effort.
When and where can I book extra nights?
Extra nights are available at all starting and finishing points. These can be booked after making your binding reservation.
Some tours even allow for extra nights during the tour. In this case the extra nights have to be booked right together with the tour reservation. All prices are available under “Extra Nights” at the relevant tour description.
Do I need a travel insurance?
We strongly recommend taking out a travel insurance policy, at least cancellation insurance, as no insurances are included in our packages. Forms of the European Travel Insurance are attached to our travel documentation for your action.

Which kind of accommodation?
It is our obligation to provide you with a comfortable atmosphere
after a hiking day. We are constantly looking for hotels, country
hotels, boarding houses and huts offering this special ambience.
Sometimes especially smaller towns do not offer very sophisticated accommodation. Anyway, rooms with shower or tub bath and toilet are standard, and more often the personal hospitality of the landlords and special service recompense for the simpler standard of the rooms.
How does the luggage transfer work?
All individual tours are serviced with luggage transfer from accomodation to accomodation. For Eurohike-Original Tours no limitation of luggage applies. Some Partner tour operators limit the number of luggage to one or two pieces. Please find information about regulations, times for depositing and retrieving of luggage of the individual tours in the travel documentation.
Attention: for overnight stays in huts mostly no luggage transfer (see offer).
You are kindly requested to use easy to handle luggage, please refrain from using “cupboards with a handle”. Luggage with a weight of more than 20 kg can not be transported. Please also take into consideration that constant handling during the tour puts a special strain on the luggage.

Are the services of each tour identical?
No rule without exceptions. Travelling into foreign countries means to adjust the service to the local level. Sometimes our partner offer slightly different services. As far as we feel these differences to be distinctive and relevant, we mention them in the catalogue.
Hiking at all kinds of weather?
Unfortunately we are not able to guarantee sunshine, but of course we assume that you are lucky with the weather during your tour – as you do.
Anyway, please take some precautions for days with cooler temperatures and the occasional rainy spell. An equipment list is enclosed to the travel documentation.
