Lead and sweep guides keep groups organised on technical footing while support stations help you travel lighter on longer stages. 📋 Key Details Duration: 8 days Difficulty: Challenging Minimum age: 12 Locations: Rize, Kaçkar Mountains Transport: Airport transfers on the published plan 🗓️ What to Expect After transfer from Rize-Artvin Airport and a camp briefing, mornings open with route maps, distance targets, and cut-off times before you head onto tea landscapes, valley paths, and forested Fırtına valley sections that build volume gradually. Coaches focus on pacing, hydration, and footing on humid coastal trails before the week moves toward bigger climb days. Midweek increases vertical toward Sakura plateau and high ridges, then the Marsis summit approach near 3,150 m when stability allows, with alternatives ready if cloud or snow blocks the highest point. The camp closes with a farewell valley run and airport transfer, leaving you with a clear sense of how skyrunning terrain in the Kaçkars differs from road or flat trail training at home. 📍 Location Rize blends humid coastal forest with steep alpine ridges, letting a single camp mix tea plantation shake-outs, Fırtına valley single track, and high plateau vertical toward Marsis. Footing varies from smooth dirt to technical rock and root sections, so the week trains skyrunning skills rather than road marathon pace alone. Guest-house bases between runs reduce van time and support early breakfasts before guided departures into the Kaçkar foothills. Black Sea culture shows in evening meals and village stops, giving recovery time after long vertical days without constant hotel moves across the region. 🏨 Accommodation Guest-house lodging on the plan places you close to trailheads and evening meals after summit-oriented days. Rooms are simple and comfortable, focused on rest, drying shoes and vests, and charging headlamps before the next morning briefing. Hosts understand muddy trail shoes in entryways and usually offer WiFi to coordinate family messages after long ridge days. Request high-carb or allergy-friendly meals early so kitchens can support camp nutrition across eight consecutive run days. 🛡️ Prerequisites Participants should comfortably run technical trails with significant climb, and previous trail or m… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided runs according to the published camp itinerary, with lead and sweep guides on technical sections.

Carry sun protection, emergency snacks, and insurance documents digitally and on paper, plus swimwear if river recovery stops are scheduled on your route. ## FAQs ### Who is this trip for? This skyrunning camp suits active travellers who want structured guided days with time to recover each evening. Share your sport background honestly so guides can match pace and terrain to the group. Mixed-ability friends can often travel together when guides split lines or offer easier variants on the same day. The rhythm is adventurous without racing the clock, with clear briefings before each main session. ### What fitness level do I need? Skyrunning camps require trail legs for big vertical days, often with technical footing and humid coastal heat before alpine ridges. Build hill repeats and stair sessions in the month before you travel. Participants aged twelve and above need the same endurance as adults on published daily distances. Altitude near 3,150 m can feel harder than home training routes, so pace yourself early in the week. ### How do airport transfers work? Published departures include ground transfers from the airport named in Key Details when your package lists them. Share flight times early so drivers can align pickup windows with your arrival hall. International flights are arranged separately unless your confirmation explicitly lists them. Keep your phone charged and messaging apps active on travel day for any timing updates. ### What kit should I bring? Pack for the sport and season described in the kit list on this page. Layered clothing, sun protection, and sturdy footwear matter even when the forecast looks mild. Technical safety kit for snow or backcountry days is often personal unless your inclusion list says otherwise. A small daypack for water, snacks, and spare layers is useful every day. ### Are meals included? Meals follow the inclusion list on this page and what your confirmation shows for your package tier. Request special diets as early as possible so kitchens and guides can plan. Some evenings may be open for local restaurants unless the day plan includes a group meal. Mention allergies before you travel, not at the first breakfast. ### Is equipment provided? Rental or shared equipment is only included where this page lists it explicitly. Bring personal items that affect comfort, such as boots sized to you, when guides recommend it. Helmets and safety hardware are treated seriously on guided snow and bike days. If you prefer your own helmet or transceiver, bring it when it meets guide requirements. ### What travel documents do I need? You need a valid passport and any visa required for Türkiye on these departures. Check entry rules for your nationality before you arrange flights. Some activities require insurance documents or waiver forms completed before arrival. Keep digital and paper copies of confirmations and emergency contacts. ### How large are the groups? Group size follows the operator schedule for your date. Mountain and snow products often run with small guide ratios for safety. Private upgrades may be possible when capacity allows. Ask the team if you need a dedicated guide for your party only. ### How should I prepare before I travel? Build light sport-specific conditioning in the weeks before you fly. Sleep, hydration, and realistic pacing on arrival day help you enjoy the first session. Read the kit list twice and pack a day earlier than usual so forgotten items do not delay morning meet times. Message through Adventuro Chat if anything in the plan is unclear before you fly. ### What happens if weather affects the plan? Outdoor sessions follow conditions on the day, and guides choose the safest equivalent activity when wind, snow, or heat shifts. Briefings explain any route changes before you leave the meeting point. Mountain teams carry backup ideas such as lower-altitude terrain, technique workshops, or shorter loops. The goal is to keep you moving and learning rather than losing a full day to uncertainty. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18926f14-7138-4fb5-ba64-4204101aab46-1.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 1 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
