Mount Olivia’s Tour Details
For all mountaineering and alpinism activities, the ascent route is determined based on weather conditions, terrain, client’s physical condition, and other factors that may change with the environment. For this purpose, a meeting is held with clients a few days before the activity to determine this factor and, consequently, the equipment to be used.
