3 days Trekking on Mount Olympus

1st Day:
Litochoro & Walk to Refuge A - Spilios Agapitos, alt. 2.100 m (Estimated Walking Time: approx. 3 hours)
Arrive and meet your guide and the rest of the group in Litochoro. Transfer to Prionia, where you begin to hike, at an altitude of 1.100 meters. The route from Prionia to Spilios Agapitos Refuge is the most frequented hiking path on Mount Olympus and makes up a part of the E4. Prionia is the highest point which can be reached by car. Most of the hike is through a thick forest of pine, beech and fir trees, and the path is in good condition. You will be ascending to 2.100m alt. to reach the refuge.

2nd Day - Summit Day:
Peak ascents – Refuge Ch. Kakkalos, alt. 2,700 m (Estimated Walking Time 6- 8 hours)

From the refuge, a zig-zagging path will bring you just under the mountain's main summits. From there you have two options according to the group's fitness and weather conditions: Either climb first Skala at 2.882 meters and then cross a narrow ridge climb to the summit of Skolio at 2,911 meters. Or if weather permits and there is no snow, you will ascent to the main summit - Mytikas (2.917meters), Greece’s highest peak, following a narrow gorge ( it involves about 150 m of scrambling )! ( 4-5 hrs walking on narrow paths – some scrambling involved – altitude gain of 800m ). After reaching the summit you shall descent by the same way to the main path and cross the spectacular precipice under the summit of Stefani - the throne of Zeus- you emerge to the plateau of the Mouses – an alpine plateau at an altitude of 2,700m where a small but friendly refuge will accommodate you (2-3 hrs walking).

3rd Day:
Plateau of the Muses - Petrostrougka Refuge alt 1,940m – Gkortsia (Estimated Walking Time 5- 6 hours)

This is an easy day. Before starting to descend, you will climb a small peak – named Profitis Ilias – just above the refuge to admire superb views of Mt Olympus summits. You will follow another path this time for the descent. In almost 2 hours you will meet a new refuge, the refuge of Hellenic rescue team (Petrostrougka refuge 1.940m) where you can have lunch or relax from there the end of the tour is near, and after the small break, you have to continue until the next destination - Gkortsia, which is the last point (2–3 hours walking).
