Every evening at six, the guide leading tomorrow's hike opens three forecasts, the avalanche bulletin in winter and the road report for the pass. If two of the three disagree, we wait for the seven o'clock update before deciding.

A trip is cancelled only when we cannot run it safely, never because the group is small. When we call it off, every booking on that departure is cancelled with it and you can pick another date at no cost.

That is why the departure list on each trip page shows seats left: a departure is real, has a named guide, and closes the moment its seats are gone.
