The advantages of luggage transportation :

• A light hike: only carry the things that you need for the day.
• Dry clothes every night: even if it rains, your luggage is sheltered!
• Hike freely and enjoy the scenery and your encounters with other hikers.
• Preserved health. Take it easy on your back, knees and hips.

Do you prefer a suitcase or a backpack ?

The luggage that you entrust to us can be a backpack, cabin suitcase, sports bag... the most important thing is that it's one piece and of reasonable size. 

We can also transport respirators on request. Don't hesitate to contact us for any specific request.

How heavy can my luggage be ?

Your luggage must not be more than 13 kg !

In case of excess weight, we’ll ask you to pack an additional bag that will be charged to you. We can also offer to provide you with a "La Malle Postale" bag to distribute the contents of your "big bag". You will then be charged for a second piece of luggage for the rest of the journey.

1 piece of luggage = a single item of less than 13kg
