Xmotion 2011 trekking Austria

For the 4th year in row members of the DAT, Susanne, David and Melchior will be guiding the Xmotion Austria trekking again.
What makes this trip special is not the height, strength or difficulty but the participants; all of them (10 in total) have one or multiple disorders like ADHD or autism.
During this trip we won’t be only responsible for the climbing and safety but we will need to help the participants as well dealing with there own specific challenges. As you can imagine this makes such trips very demanding but even more interesting!

The area where we will be trekking is the Schobergroup near Lienz, Austria. It’s a region with a lot of possibilities and different routes to take in case we need to adjust the program.
The idea is to trek from shelter to shelter and climb 3 3000 meter peaks. Ofcourse it all depends on the group and the weather.
