Your guide to Trekking in Epirus

We have gathered everything you need to know about our private trekking expeditions to the Vikos Gorge and Dragonlake. From the Guinness World Record depths to the high-altitude Dragon Lakes, our expert guides ensure you are perfectly prepared for the Pindus trails.

The Vikos Gorge trek is a descent and traverse through the deepest canyon in the world, ending at the Voidomatis springs. The Dragon Lake (Drakolimni) trek is a high-altitude ascent to a mythical alpine lake at 2,050m. Both are all-day 8-hour activities.

At Alpine Zone, we prioritize your experience. All our trekking tours are Private Groups. You will have a personal, fluent English-speaking guide dedicated entirely to your group’s pace and safety.

While the routes are relatively easy in most parts, they are all-day hikes. A moderate physical condition is recommended. For Drakolimni, there is a steeper final hike to the lake, but the satisfaction and iconic views are worth every step.

We provide a premium light lunch that includes traditional homemade veggie pie, fresh fruits, and a traditional sweet dessert. We also stop at scenic spots like the Voidomatis springs, one of the cleanest rivers in Europe, for rest.
You must bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothing suitable for the season. Most importantly, you need a pair of sturdy sports shoes suitable for trekking/hiking. We handle the rest!
Yes! Our treks are family-friendly and suitable for kids (04+) who are comfortable with walking. Because it is a private group, our guide can adjust the tempo to ensure the little adventurers enjoy the wild Balkan goats and natural scenery.
