Our Trek Grading

TREK GRADING

Your experience in the beautiful European Alps is paramount to us, therefore your choice of trek is very important. Each trek has its own level of demand, it is essential that you close a trek that suits your level of experience and fitness. We have graded each of our treks from 3 to 10 (low - high) to help you choose the hiking trail that is right for you. The level considers the difficulty of terrain, height gain and descent each day and the number of days you will be hiking.

Once you have decided on which trek is best for you, you will have time to get in good shape before you arrive in the Alps. For more tips & advice of how best to do this, take a look at our Fitness & Preparation page and if you have any questions about whether you are fit enough for a trek in the mountains we are here to help.
