Itinerary

The trek covers a round trip of approximately 13 kilometers with an elevation gain of 600 meters, requiring around 7 hours to complete. To manage the physical demand, we will make several planned stops along the way to rest, hydrate, and take in the views. Once we reach our destination at the glacier, we’ll stop to enjoy a well-deserved lunch surrounded by the alpine landscape. Be ready to navigate through steep climbs, uneven mountain terrain, and muddy sections where a solid physical condition is essential.
