Getting to know the guides. Learning the interesting history. Waking up each morning and only having to walk and chat. Viewing the beauty of the countries.
I would tell them to come in good shape for walking. Be sure to bring a blister kit. A sleeping bag liner was invaluable for me. Your list was perfect. So bring everything on that list. Credit cards are really not used. Bring plenty of Euros. Local currency isn’t mandatory. Enjoy the views. Get to know the guides!
