Here's everything that's inside:
Mistake 1: Trying to plan everything yourself - And why this leads to spending 30+ hours researching, wasting your holiday fixing unforeseen problems, and paying premium prices for mediocre experiences.
Mistake 2: Booking based on pretty photos, not your fitness level - And why this leaves you struggling to keep up or bored out of your mind.
Mistake 3: Waiting too long to book or cobbling it together last-minute – And why this means missing the best options and settling for what’s left (and paying a premium for it).
Mistake 4: Assuming famous = better – And why this turns your dream alpine adventure into tourist trap hell.
Mistake 5: Believing the only way to get an 'authentic' experience is to DIY everything – And why this turns your trip into a full-time job instead of a full-body experience.
