Tour description

Experience the thrill of Mount Olympus on a three-day ascent that challenges and delights both seasoned climbers and beginners. This unique journey to the highest peak in Greece, reaching 2918 meters at Mytikas peak, offers more than just a climb; it's an exploration of nature's majesty and a test of human spirit. The carefully curated trip ensures a profound experience, allowing you to witness the mountain's beauty from multiple perspectives, sleep in two different shelters, and return enriched with emotions but not exhausted. Olympus's terrain is as challenging as it is beautiful, featuring rocky peaks and diverse paths that call to adventurers of all skill levels. The Happy Mountain team is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable experience, ensuring every climber, regardless of their experience, feels the satisfaction of connecting with nature on this unforgettable journey. The journey forms a 'small circle' around the mountain, giving you a comprehensive experience of Mount Olympus from both sides. Sleep in two different shelters to fully appreciate the mountain's grandeur. The significant altitude differences and the final stretch to the peaks make the ascent fulfilling for climbers of all levels. Day 1: Departure from Thessaloniki. Arrive in Prionia and starting point for the Trail of Silence around 14:30-15:00, to the shelter Spilios Agapitos (2,100m - Zolota). Route duration: about 3.5-4.0 hours (for beginners). Overnight at the shelter, rest with good food and good company. Day 2: Departure from the shelter to the peaks (Mytikas for those who are capable and Skala-Skolio or Plateau of the Muses for the rest). Route duration: about 3-4 hours. Late at noon arrival at the shelter Giosos Apostolidis (2,697m). Total walking time: 5-6 hours. Rest and close afternoon walk in the surrounding peaks. Day 3: Relaxed breakfast, lunch at the shelter and return to Petrostrouga shelter and Gortsia location. Return takes about 5 hours. Note: The top is not an end in itself. 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 is considered unable to complete the attempt. Everyone's safety is everything.
