Ability Guide

Our guests vary widely in ability and interests. But with careful selection on the part of our guides, the mountains can offer a thrilling experience to everyone. Your guides keep in close touch with you throughout your stay, to ensure that we are meeting your expectations.

Our hiking groups, organized according to interests and abilities, vary in size. We often have seven guides for a lodge at its full, 44-person, capacity, so there will usually be four flights for as many as seven different hikes. The idea is to fit your mountain exploration within the boundaries of your fitness and wishes.

The following will give you a general idea of how our guides determine hiking groups:

> RIGOROUS

You are very active and enjoy strenuous, fast paced activities.

> MODERATELY CHALLENGING

You exercise regularly (3 or 4 times a week) and want to challenge yourself by hiking full days on varied terrain(i.e. hiking over a pass, along ridges or perhaps reaching a peak).

> MODERATE

You exercise less occasionally, enjoy hiking for a full day but prefer to do so at a more relaxed pace.

> GENTLE

You want the opportunity to explore a mountain environment in a relaxed manner.
