You are welcome to get any flight that arrives in time to make the transfer. Think of the transfer like a train: it runs on time and can't be delayed.
Please note, if your flight is late or cancelled, you'll need to make your own way to the start location, but we'll support you with local transport information on the day.

-
Missed transfers are rare, but we want to be upfront so you can plan with confidence.
If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you'll need to arrange your own transport to meet the group. We'll support you as best we can — your host will be your main contact on the day and can help coordinate locally. You can also contact our bookings team, available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm UK time, though replies may be delayed.
Even if you booked a flight from our Suggested Flights, group transfers run on schedule and cannot wait for late arrivals. That's why comprehensive travel insurance is essential and needs to cover travel delays and missed connections — it could save you a significant amount if things don't go to plan.
-
Yes, private transfers can be arranged at an additional cost. Please contact us in advance to arrange this.
-
You should buy comprehensive travel insurance as soon as you book your trip — not just before you travel. This ensures you're covered in case you need to cancel before departure, as well as for any unexpected issues while you're away.
Your policy should include cover for:
Travel delays and missed connections
Trip cancellation
Medical emergencies and evacuation
Baggage and equipment loss
All activities included in your itinerary
Travel insurance is a requirement for joining any Gutsy Girls trip, and it's your responsibility to check that your policy includes the kind of adventure you've signed up for — especially outdoor or sporting activities.
Booking your insurance early gives you peace of mind and protects your trip from the very start.
-
If you have extra time, Verona is absolutely worth exploring. It's a stunning historic city known for its Roman amphitheatre, charming medieval streets, and yes, as the setting for Romeo and Juliet. There are excellent restaurants, wine bars, and beautiful piazzas to wander through. You can find more information here: https://www.visitverona.it/en

Rooms are comfortable and basic, with views over the valley and surrounding mountains.

Activities
-
This trip is aimed at beginners, so no previous experience with eBiking, rafting, via ferrata or hiking is needed. However, to get the most out of your adventure, you will need good fitness to ensure you’ve got the energy and drive to tackle each daily activity.
You also do need to be able to ride a bike to take part in the eBiking day.
-
This trip is rated moderate.
You'll be moving your body every single day across varied mountain terrain and in varied ways that use very different muscle groups. You don't need to be an elite athlete, but you do need to show up in good shape, ready to tackle a new activity and potentially challenging terrain each day.
-
We really want every Gutsy Girl to have a go at everything on this trip. However, please let your host know if you plan to skip any activity.
We do not offer discounts, refunds or alternatives for missed activities.
-
You must be able to swim 100m and be confident around water.
-
Simple - because although you still need to peddle, change gear and negotiate different terrains, eBikes help add a bit of extra power when you need it most! They give more riders more freedom to reach those trickier summits or navigate longer distances.
They’re also really fun!
-
Our eBikes can carry up to 120kg.
-
Boosting your cardiovascular fitness is a brilliant way to build up endurance and stamina. We recommend running, cycling, or any other high-intensity activity that gets your heart pumping.
Lifting weights is also a great way to strengthen your body and increase your fitness. However if it’s your first time please take it steady!
Gear & Packing
-
For hiking and Via Ferrata: Quick-dry layers, hiking trousers or leggings, sturdy walking boots or trail shoes with good grip. The canyon route is rocky and uneven.
For E-biking: Comfortable athletic wear, trainers and layers you can strip off as you warm up.
For rafting: T-shirt or microfleece worn under the wetsuit, spare trainers that will get wet, swimming costumes
Bring a light waterproof jacket too for all days as the weather in the mountains can shift.
-
No, you must have hiking boots or hiking shoes / trail running trainers with good grip. This is for your safety and comfort.
You will not be allowed to join the Via Ferrata or hikes if you come in trainers without good grip.
-
Yes! You can find a detailed packing list here.
-
Absolutely, you’ll need to bring a 15-20L daypack with plenty of room for any extra layers, drinks and snacks.

Other
-
Summer in Val di Sole is generally warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures usually ranging from 20°C to 28°C, and cooler evenings. The valley is known as the “Valley of the Sun”, so you can expect plenty of sunshine, although occasional afternoon showers or mountain weather changes can happen, especially at higher elevations.
-
You'll definitely need cash for anything bought at the rifugios as connectivity in the mountains means card payments may not go through. Otherwise most places in Italy accept credit and debit cards. Italy uses the euro.
-
We get guests of all ages join our adventures. As long as you're active, up for the challenge and willing to get stuck in as part of the group, we don't care how old you are (as long as you're over 18, sorry!) The mix of ages in a group is actually one of the best things about our trips as you’ll click with women you’d probably never talk to otherwise.
We do recommend you read through all our information on fitness and experience levels for this trip to make sure it's right for you, and to get in touch with the Bookings Team if you have any questions.
-
Most of our guests join solo. You'll meet adventure-seekers who share your mindset, and we'll connect you with your group via WhatsApp before the trip so you can start chatting.
-
We'd love to work exclusively with female guides, but the reality is there aren't enough in the industry yet. As more women get into adventure sports though (hopefully through trips like ours), we really hope to see more women take guiding roles.
Until then, our priority is finding instructors who are experienced, patient, and genuinely care about building women's confidence outdoors. We vet every guide carefully and monitor feedback closely.
-
If the weather affects the planned activities, we will just adjust the itinerary as needed. Safety is our top priority, and we always have backup options for alternative activities.
-
Absolutely. Mountain weather can be unpredictable, so our guides adjust daily plans to ensure the best (and safest) experience. You'll still get everything promised where possible, just maybe in a different order depending on conditions.
