By the Slopes Correspondent — Born from a lifelong reverence for Greece’s most legendary summit, AEROLITH began as a small circle of mountaineers who believed that Mount Olympus is not merely climbed — it is experienced. In 2008, our founder, Dimitris Kalogeros, a certified alpine guide and native of Litochoro, resolved to create a guiding service rooted in safety, scholarship, and deep respect for the mountain’s mythic heritage.

From the ancient trails of Prionia to the dramatic ascent toward Mytikas, AEROLITH has guided thousands of hikers from across the world. Our expeditions blend precise route planning with storytelling drawn from classical history, local ecology, and living tradition. Each journey is treated as a feature article in motion — carefully structured, responsibly led, and unforgettable in detail.

Today, our team includes certified Hellenic Mountain Guides, wilderness first responders, and environmental stewards dedicated to preserving Olympus for generations to come.

Private tours may also include transportation from Litochoro, photography documentation, and personalized itinerary planning depending on your selected program.

Do I need prior hiking experience to summit Mount Olympus?

Moderate fitness is recommended for summit attempts, though prior alpine experience is not mandatory. AEROLITH offers preparatory briefings and recommends conditioning guidelines before your climb. For beginners, we suggest starting with lower-elevation scenic routes such as the Enipeas Gorge trail before progressing to higher ascents.

The primary hiking season runs from late May through October, when refuges operate consistently and weather conditions are most stable. July through September offer optimal summit conditions. For experienced climbers, winter ascents are available under specialized alpine programs with advanced safety planning.

How do I book a guided climb with AEROLITH?

Reservations may be secured directly through our website inquiry form or by contacting our Litochoro coordination office. We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance during peak season.
