At 1,500 m with no light pollution, the night sky here is extraordinary.
We set the telescope up on the terrace after dinner on clear nights and someone from the team points out what is overhead. Free for guests. Blankets and tea provided; the cold is real.
Before you go
Carry more water than you think you need — the air is very dry.
Sun at altitude is fierce even when it is cold. Hat and sunscreen.
Layers. Mornings can be near freezing and afternoons warm.
Signal is patchy. Tell reception your plan before you leave.
Weather decides. We will tell you honestly the evening before if
conditions mean a trip is not worth doing. Nothing is charged if we call it off.
