High-altitude tours venture into lofty heights and require an extremely large amount of endurance! The intense stress experienced by your heart, cardiovascular system, muscles and joints requires you to be in good shape and realistically assess your own capabilities. Avoid putting yourself under time pressure and move along at a pace that does not overextend anyone.
Pay attention to altitude acclimatisation
Once you reach an elevation of 2,500 meters, your body will need some time to adjust to its new environs. The keys are to ascend slowly and to moderately increase the altitude at which you sleep. The best approach is to sleep at an elevation that is several meters below the maximum height you reached each day. Take your time and be sure to drink plenty of water. Should you begin to experience the classic symptoms of altitude sickness – nausea, headaches and dizziness – you should reverse course and descend the mountain.
