Participants will apply the knowledge learned in the classroom while hiking in the Mont Blanc Region in France and Switzerland. The lectures will cover environmental issues, outdoor living skills, trail first aid and safety, and use of maps and compasses, in addition to comprehensive physical training to prepare for the trek. Hikers stay in mountain huts and rustic hotels. We will hike an average of seven to eight hours daily on varied terrain.
Distances range from seven to ten miles.
We will be trekking in all weather conditions. Hiking Home U.Ed.
