Continuous education and training of our Solitude team are a regular practice, ensuring they remain updated. We emphasise the significance of local environmental knowledge, acquired through our extensive experience in the regions we operate or by engaging knowledgeable locals when necessary.

When it comes to our guests, this process begins from their initial inquiry and continues through their journey’s final preparations. The significance of clear communication resonates from our team’s first interaction with guests to bidding them farewell. Regarding our staff, ongoing training remains a constant focus, whether enhancing service standards or upkeeping equipment.
