Tour Grading

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the difficulty of a trip is graded as easy, moderate, hard and very hard, for most of the trekking and climbing tours the traveller must consider the altitude factor, since most of our activities take place on heights over 2800 m.

When a tour is described as hard to very hard, it involves certain risks and so travelers taking part in these activities are strongly recommended to be in very good physical condition as well as have knowledge of basic climbing techniques (especially for our climbing tours)

EASY	Most hikes on easy terrain. Low physical demand
MODERATE	Moderate physical activity, which demands certain efforts from the traveler to get through the activity
HARD	Physically strenuous activity requiring good fitness. and for certain climbing tours, some experience.
VERY HARD	Very physically demanding, very difficult activity which implies also very good knowledge of technical skills and requires the traveler to have very good physical and mental fitness.
