Greece, Mt Olympus Trek Charity Challenge

This is one of our outline challenge itineraries. If you are interested in running this as a fundraising event, please contact us for more information. If you are looking to take part in a charity challenge please see upcoming events.

Mt. Olympus reaches 2,917m into the sky and is the highest point in all of Greece. It is the mystical home of the ancient Greek Gods and is situated in Greece’s oldest and most carefully protected national park. It was from the steep, rocky summit of Mt. Olympus that Zeus hurled thunderbolts against mankind.

Today the national park has an extensive concentration of flora and fauna, and boasts dozens of endemic species of flower as well as some endangered birds and butterflies.

Our trekking challenge takes us through forest paths and grassy uplands to Mitikas, at 2,917m Mt Olympus’ highest peak, where we, like Zeus, can survey the world and enjoy views described as ‘fit for the gods!’
