Host Tips
Small secrets from the ridge
Shoot at dawn
The range is clearest between 5:30 and 7 AM. Ask us — we'll knock on your door when the peaks appear.
Layers, always
Hill weather changes by the hour. Carry a light jacket even in April — evenings on the ridge are cool.
Walk the small paths
Skip the main road — the village footpaths between houses have the best views and the friendliest faces.
