Trek challenge

Challenge level

Based at a hotel in Buzet, we’ll walk diff erent trails every day through the northern mountains and get the best of the secluded landscape of Istria in northern Croatia, worlds away from the world-famous Adriatic coast to the south.

With forested hills and limestone peaks, vineyards and olive groves, riverside trails and rich woodland, untouched stone villages and hilltop towns, we’ll trek away from the crowds and immerse ourselves in nature.

Following the Istria Mountain Trail across the peninsula, we’ll trek from the wooded hills around Buzet into the Učka National Park. We’ll face challenging climbs and long days on our feet, but the views of waterfalls, indigenous nature and even the Adriatic Islands will make the trek a dream.

Prepare to crest three mountain peaks, including the mighty Mount Učka and reach a height of 1,401m! From here, we’ll look out across the entire peninsula, with the Alps to the north and an endless sea to the south.

The best part of this overseas trekking challenge is that you conquer it for the charity, hospice or animal sanctuary of your choice! In three tough but stunning days, you can make a big impact for the cause that means the most to you, while having the experience of a lifetime.
