We recommend a good level of fitness and some mountain walking experience for this trip.You can expect long days of hiking, on a variety of different terrains. Please discuss personal issues on fitness and experience with us; we can offer advice on preparation. Your guide will ask you to complete a Booking Form declaring health and medical conditions in advance of your trip. The guides need to know about how best to support you on the mountains.

End: You'll end at the accommodation on day 5. The trip will end after breakfast. 

The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable at any time of year. You'll have the flexibility to swap the days over or reverse the direction if the weather dictated.
