We are looking at an abbreviated, 7 day version of this. Someone mentioned the dorms and I’m worried about my teen daughter. Do they separate by gender? Some companies have an 18 year old age minimum so we will have to see. They are both experienced and DH is even insisting that he wants to carry his own pack.
I’m not going to hike buy paragliding sounds amazing!

Ultimately, I decided I didn't want to share a dorm room with a bunch of strangers and have a community bathroom down the hall. Sticking to day hiking.
