The expert's opinion
This is a trip where you carry everything you need to sleep and eat in the mountains, so you need to be in good shape because even if the elevation gain won't be very significant, the weight of the bag compensates!

Equipment
Equipment provided on site
- Tents for 2 to 3 people
Equipment to bring
- For hiking, you'll need a pair of hiking boots, preferably waterproof and sturdy. If you buy a new pair before you leave, make sure you wear them a little beforehand, otherwise you risk blisters that could even prevent you from finishing your trek.
- A pair of poles can be very useful to relieve the effort, especially with the weight of the bag.
- A 40/50L bag will be sufficient to carry your day and night gear, some food, a tent part, and your water bottle (approximately 1.5L). A comfortable backpack is appreciated on long days. Be aware that on this type of trek, the weight of your pack is truly the enemy! We can discuss this further if you wish.
- For the “just in case” items at the bottom of the bag: a few cereal bars or other dried fruits, a headlamp, a small survival blanket, a knife, some strapping tape and a pair of shoelaces.
- To sleep You will need a sleeping mat and sleeping bag. We provide the tents.
- For eating: You will need a cooking set with glass and cutlery.
