Obiettivi
Sailing, exploring and trekking for a week in Faroe Islands is a unique opportunity brought to you by Overalp. The spirit of adventure is at the heart of this trip for we do not offer a set travel plan, but we will choose the areas that we will explore together by sailing and trekking, depending on the
weather and sea conditions. The most interesting locations will be in Vagar, Streymoy and Borooy. Treks will range from 2 to 6 hours of duration, during which you will be surrounded by astounding views in a unique environment, perfect for those who love photography, wilderness, and trekking.
