FAQ
Domande frequenti
The event lasts 1 day and progressively, stealing all the information from our guides, you will learn the basic techniques of forming a roped party and progression in a glacial environment. You must have practiced winter or summer mountaineering on 4000.
Obviously good physical shape allows you to progress faster.
Progression above 4000m is more tiring than at low altitude, this is due to the lack of oxygen.
If you have mountain experience even in the winter season and can do trekking with more than 1500m of positive altitude difference without being too tired, and you have already reached 4000m peaks and are used to going out in winter with crampons you can participate.
The registration fee includes:
– accompaniment of the mountain guide.
– Use of common equipment: carabiners, ropes, belayers, dead bodies etc.
– Membership in the Adventure Dreamers group in your region, being able to participate in free self-organised activities of our customers throughout the year.
