Trekking Information
How to Prepare for the Trek
During the trek, you'll be walking for five to six hours a day or more, often at high altitudes over 3000 meters. This can put extra strain on your body, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, restless nights, and headaches. To enjoy the trek, you need to be in good health and physical shape. Regular aerobic exercises such as fitness classes, jogging, cycling uphill, swimming, or cross-country skiing are essential.
High Altitude Trekking
If you've hiked at 3000 meters before, higher altitudes might feel similar, but you may need to slow down, take more breaks, and watch for symptoms like headaches or restless nights. Always report any symptoms to your guide, as high altitude can be dangerous. Our treks are planned to help with acclimatization, but if a group member shows severe symptoms of altitude sickness, they will need to descend. The trip leader makes the final decision on this.
