The observation itself normally lasts 75–100 minutes.
I choose the exact site that day to seek suitable conditions within permitted access.

- Night-time accommodation pick-up.
- Transfer to the permitted location with the best conditions.
- Dark adaptation and considerate use of lights.
- Orientation with stars and constellations.
- Telescope observation of the objects available that date.
The order is indicative. I will adapt it to your accommodation, your group’s pace, current conditions and access restrictions.

What is not included
- Sunset, food, dinner and cable car.

Frequently asked questions
Where does observation take place?
I do not use one fixed point. I confirm the most suitable permitted site after checking the forecast and access.
Do I need astronomy knowledge?
No. We begin with naked-eye orientation and I adjust the explanation to what you know and want to ask.
What happens if the weather changes?
I monitor the forecast and official alerts. If they affect safety or the quality of the route, I will suggest a different itinerary, another date or the solution stated in the tour conditions.
Can more than eight people book?
Yes. I can arrange a minibus or coach and, where necessary, additional professionals. You will receive one detailed quotation before booking.
Does this tour fit your trip?
Tell me when you are coming, where you are staying and what you would like to discover. I will reply with a clear proposal for your group.
