Physical Requirements
To get the most out of the stunning landscapes and scenery on this trip, you should be an avid hiker, and enjoy good cardio workouts. The alpine hiking requires good balance and a sure footed hiker. There are very limited trails in the backcountry, it’s mostly wilderness hiking during the day hikes. The guides will of course guide you through the best sections, and there is a lot of valley walking, but to get up high requires a confident hiker to manoeuver over rocky sections, some boulders and uneven ground. There are also opportunities for the less strong hikers to stay back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and light hiking around the cabin base.
