Activity Description

During the autumnal call of the forest, we invite you to the Valia Calda area over the weekend, to give us the purest of what nature has to offer - mushrooms of all kinds, and to celebrate on the outskirts of Valia Calda!

Program:

Friday

Arrival and accommodation in the area.

Saturday

We will collect mushrooms from the outskirts of Valia Calda and the mountains of Metsovo with experienced guides.

We will gather at a predetermined location, and transportation to the forest will be provided by our own 4x4 vehicles and possibly by cars within our group (always 4x4).

We will explore the areas that provide a satisfying quantity and variety of mushrooms during this season.

After completing the search, around 14:00, we will enjoy our mushrooms prepared by two experienced chefs in a beautiful corner of Valia Calda, in a meal exclusively based on mushrooms. We will return to the hotels later in the afternoon.

Sunday

We will visit all the core magic icons and the Flame Lakes. We will approach the alpine part of Mavrovouni and the wonderful landscape with the lightning-struck rombolas and after climbing to the top and the lakes we will follow the path downwards to the core and Arkudorema, where our vehicles will be waiting for us to wander the rest of the valley.
