LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY OF HIKES

Level 1
Level 1 characterizes simple programs in which participants make radial trips lasting 3 to 5 hours a day. The length of the daily route varies from 5 to 8 km along well-maintained trails, and the total ascent on the route does not exceed 400-500 m. In hikes, participants need to carry a minimum set of things — only what is needed for 3 to 5 hours of trekking.
Level 1 program includes accommodation in a basic hotel with amenities, usually in the valley, where there is a tourist infrastructure. These trips are available to participants with any level of physical fitness, including families with young children.
Level 2 combines linear and radial hikes with day-to-day transitions or one-day radial trips within 5-6 hours. Such routes run mainly along well-maintained trails, but may include short sections of complex or poorly marked paths. During the day, the participants pass a distance of 8 to 11 km with a total rise of 400 to 700 m. A weekly Layer 2 liner may include one longer daytrip with a lift up to 1000 m.
Programs for Level 2 radial campaigns are available to everyone, regardless of the level of physical fitness, including families with young children. To participate in Level 2 linear trips, it is necessary to be in good physical shape and it is desirable to have the experience of hiking, not necessarily mountain. As a rule, children from 7-9 years old who already have experience of hiking with parents can take part in such linear hiking.
Level 3 characterizes linear trips in a group with a guide or independently on routes with 6 — 9 hours daytime junctions. These routes take place mainly along well-marked paths. On the routes there may be complex areas, including short areas with support, but not requiring special expertise and equipment for passage. Some of the Layer 3 trekking routes include glacier crossings with a sloping incline — these routes are only guided by participants, and participants are provided with the necessary equipment to ensure safety. The total increase on the routes of Level 3 is in the majority of campaigns 600-1000 meters per day with the length of the daytime travel of 10-15 km. At the same time, Level 3 campaigns can include 1 — 2 more extended daytime jumps with a more significant lift. On the route participants will need to carry a backpack with personal items, water and light meals, usually weighing 7 — 8 kg, depending on individual needs.
To participate in the campaigns of Level 3 you need to have a good physical shape. It is desirable to have experience in mountain hikes. Participants should be prepared for transfers without long and frequent stops, at least every second day of the trip. The outfit must be tested beforehand, the footwear — it is different. To prepare for the campaign will be useful for any training — long running, swimming, biking and even regular walking on foot stairs instead of the elevator.
Level 4 is a linear hike with extended routes and correspondingly long daytime jumps on most days of the hike. The total daytime rise is 1200 meters on average, in exceptional cases — up to 1800 meters, descents — up to 2000 meters per day, daytime distances — up to 20 km. Routes of linear hikes with a guide can pass through glaciers of a large area. Many (but not all) Level 4 routes take place in high-altitude regions with unstable weather conditions. On Level 4 routes, there may be extended areas with a poorly marked path. Such routes partially pass through small areas, there may not be shelters on the way throughout the day’s journey.
Participation in all campaigns of Level 4 requires the experience of mountain hikes. To participate in the independent campaigns of Level 4, it is desirable to have the skills of orienteering. It is necessary to be in excellent physical shape. You should prepare for daytime jumps up to 10 hours with minimum pauses — on long routes of Level 4 it is important to stick to the schedule of the trip.
Level 5 is assigned to linear campaigns in high-altitude regions with significant glacial cover. These are areas located above 3000 meters above sea level. We organize such trips only individually, accompanied by a guide. On the glacial routes it is required to carry a backpack weighing not less than 10 — 14 kg with individual things and equipment. On the days of crossing large glaciers, it is often necessary to start the road before dawn at 5 am, as by the middle of the day the weather conditions in such areas are significantly deteriorating.
In addition to the glacial routes, by Level 5 we characterize complex vi-ferrates. These are vi-ferrates with a significant set of heights, vertical staircases and passages, cut through in steep «walls» at a considerable height.
To participate in the campaign of Level 5, you must have experience in mountain hikes and be in excellent physical shape. On the glacial routes, one should be prepared for difficult weather conditions and strictly observe the schedule of the route. Via-ferrates of Level 5 require the experience of passing through the fiasco and, accordingly, the ability to use safety equipment on sections of any profile
