Traveling without a van, we'll backpack with full loads over demanding terrain below snow-capped peaks and massive glaciers as we cover up to ten miles a day over passes as high as 9,000 feet. We'll stand below the towering North Face of the Eiger and celebrate our accomplishments having hiked a demanding Alpine route in four spectacular weeks. Applications are accepted starting in September and most groups fill in January. Overland provides a free van shuttle to Westchester, Fairfield, Newark and suburban Boston at trip end. Complete trip information is sent upon acceptance.
Trip cost includes trans-Atlantic airfare.
