Gomarostalos is the most direct and fast trail to the Muses Plateau, but it is also challenging because of its steep slope. The trail is in very good condition and its biggest part goes through beautiful thick pine forests. On its last section just before Muses Plateau there is a part which requires rock scrambling. It does not require any previous experience and there is a steel cable installed on the rock which helps to ascend. To make it even safer we supply you with via ferrata equipment to enjoy the experience on its most.
This hike is suitable for those who have a fair level of experience and they can usually cover a 5-6 hour hike. We are flexible and will try to match your pace and go slow when you need to, or even run the downhills if you feel like, but a bare in mind that a good level of endurance is required so you will enjoy this hike. Our goal is to offer you an unforgettable experience of Mount Olympus and its most iconic sceneries, all these in just a day and always in a safe and respectable way.
