Easy

We attribute the level EASY to a hike taking place on a well-maintained trail with some rocks or roots to pay attention to. This hike will have some elevation gain & loss and you will be carrying a light day pack.

The EASY level is perfect for beginners, for someone wanting to refresh their hiking skills or to get fit without choosing a harder level.

• Distance: 5-10 km
• Elevation Gain/loss: 100 – 300 m
• Terrain: flat to hilly
• Duration: 4 hr or less

Moderate

We attribute the level MODERATE to a hike taking place on a maintained or unmaintained trail with rocks – loose at times – roots and/or muddy parts and short steep or narrow sections to pay attention to.

This hike will have enough elevation gain and loss for you to get a good sweat but also some great views. You will be carrying a moderately light day pack with 1-1.5L of water so about 6-9 kg / 12-20 lbs.

The MODERATE level is perfect for anyone with some hikes under their belts with a Fitness Level 2, wanting to challenge themselves a little and eventually progress to the Difficult Level.

• Distance: 10-15 km

We attribute the level DIFFICULT to a longer day hike, to an alpine hike in a remote area or a backpacking trip with overnight camping. This type of hike will take place on a maintained or unmaintained trail with rocks – loose at times – roots and/or muddy parts and short steep or narrow sections.

You will be carrying a heavier backpack with 1.5L+ of water plus overnight camping gear and food on a backpacking trip so about 10-15 kg / 20-30+ lbs.

The DIFFICULT level is perfect for anyone with quite a few hikes under their belts, with a Fitness Level 2 to 3, wanting to get out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves supported by a professional guide.
