Trekking
Our trekking takes students all over the islands - to all those beautiful spots rarely seen by the tourist. The programme consists of a 2-3 hour walk each day and is spread over five days. The first starts in Xemxija close to the school and explores Pwales valley, taking in Neolithic remains including tombs and caves. Day 2 takes students to the Victoria Lines, a series of fortifications built by the British Army in the late 19th Century. On the third day students head to the south of the island, trekking through farmland to the southern cliffs and outstanding sea views. Day 4 takes students on a hike starting in Armier Bay, heading up the clay slopes to the Red Tower and the wonderful panorama of the northern peninsula, Comino and Gozo.
On Day 5 students head inland to Malta's most fertile and beautiful inland area, Girgenti Valley. Starting in Buskett, an ancient wood planted by the Knights of St John, students will then explore Ghar il-Kbir, a Neolithic cave dwelling, ancient cart ruts, old Roman quarries and the Inquisitor's Palace.
