Regular mountain-walking experience and good endurance are needed. Although the routes are not exceptionally strenuous or technically difficult, accumulated ascent and descent can be tiring. Read the full programme and contact the guide if you are unsure about your level.

Prepare with endurance exercise and mountain walks, carrying a loaded backpack and using the boots and equipment planned for the trip. Break in new boots beforehand. No rock-climbing skills are required, but you must be comfortable with heights.
