Joelette excursions
We will accompany you on a joelette to the most beautiful places in the Apennines.
The joelette, designed for simple family walks to sporting events, is a special off-road wheelchair that enables even disabled people (who are normally excluded from participating) to go hiking in the mountains.
The joelette can go on any trail, there are no limits. Depending on the difficulty of the trail, the number of joelette drivers might be higher in order to hike safely.
For a flat trail or a trail with a small elevation gain, even 2 or 3 drivers are enough. For a trail with medium/high elevation gain, the number of drivers increases. The exact number of drivers is calculated on a case-by-case basis.
Therefore, the longer and more difficult the hike, the higher the cost but… If you want to experience one or more joelette rides, please contact us and we will figure things out for you so that the JOELETTE RENTAL IS FREE OF CHARGE.
