How we decide when the mountain says no

How we decide when the mountain says no

Cloud rolling over the forest above Senaru.

Rain, wind or ash: who closes the trail, what happens to your trip, and why turning back is never a failure.

01Who makes the call

The national park can close trails for rain, fire or volcanic activity. Our guides also turn back if the wind or weather turns on the day.

02What happens to your trip

If the park closes before you climb, we move your dates or change the route together with you.

03Why it matters

A safe descent always beats a summit photo. The mountain will still be there next season.
