In reality, climbing is first and foremost a technical gesture, strength and athletic preparation take over later. In climbing, the greatest physical effort is carried out by the legs, usually already stronger than the arms. Acquiring the right technique, the effort will be really minimal.

What does it mean to acclimatize?2019-05-02T16:37:23+00:00

It means giving our organism time to settle at the altitude that gradually rises, the great job we will do every day will be just that, managing change to adapt to the quota

But if I have never been up in altitude can I still participate?2019-05-02T16:34:43+00:00

Of course, many of the people who came with us had climbed lower mountains or had not exceeded important quotas at all, what we will do is prepare ourselves with the right acclimatization

Should we organize food?2019-05-02T16:33:40+00:00

No all the logistics are organized, we will also have with us the kitchen tent, the food, and everything necessary to safely and properly make our shipment

Where do we sleep?2019-05-02T16:32:02+00:00

We will sleep in the tent, the place will change every day and our tent will be mounted to the next field.

What skills are needed to participate in the shipment?2019-05-02T16:30:47+00:00

The Kilimanjaro is a high altitude trek that needs good walking resistance so you need to prepare yourself to walk in the mountains or on the hills for at least 10 hours a week.

Can I do it even if I have never done a trek at high altitude?2019-05-02T16:29:46+00:00

Yes if you are ready to question yourself and if you are not afraid to work hard. The high altitude can be annoying but if the path is managed following the proper procedure to adapt your body, even people with an average workout can do it. Sure you have to be healthy and not have problems declared of heart.

Can those who cannot swim also participate?2019-05-02T16:28:20+00:00

I have never been at altitude, can I participate?2019-05-02T16:23:53+00:00

Before leaving for a trip of this type it is necessary to test one’s acclimatization capacity, for this we will make some exits before the trip that will allow us to know each other better and try the acclimatization path.

How should I prepare for a trek at high altitude?2019-05-02T16:22:53+00:00

The most important thing before leaving is to walk and do aerobic activities (bike, Nordic walking). We will create a specific program of individual and group preparation, just to allow everyone to get prepared.

Before leaving and when returning, we recommend doing a cure for lactic ferments to strengthen the intestinal flora.

What to bring?2019-05-02T16:21:40+00:00

· During the day we eat some sandwiches in the villages or if we want we stop if we find characteristic places along the way.

· In the evening, however, our assistants will provide us with succulent meals based on rice, legumes, chicken, eggs and other fresh products.

We advise you to always bring some snacks / bars and a thermos to fill in the morning with water or hot tea.

If it’s bad weather?2019-05-02T16:16:50+00:00

It can always happen that weather conditions require a change of plans and make travel more difficult. All our trips require a strong spirit of adaptability and adventure. We will try to transform even an apparently negative situation, into a positive experience, just change the point of view: we will make the sailors dispersed in the mists, we will be sailors like the Vikings did, we will surely live unforgettable experiences.

Is there hot water to wash ourselves?2019-05-02T16:15:42+00:00

Yes, of course, the hot water is guaranteed, in limited quantity, but sufficient to be able to wash, but remember that we will be aboard a sailing ship, therefore a spirit of adaptation is necessary.

Is everyone sleeping together?2019-05-02T16:14:23+00:00

Life on board is comparable to that of a large wooden bivouac, in which small rooms and common areas are shared, there is space but it is obvious that you will not have the comfort of your home or hotel.

What should I bring? Equipment and clothing2019-05-02T16:13:26+00:00

Ski mountaineering equipment:

What happens if there is little snow?2019-05-02T16:10:35+00:00

If we see that the climatic and snow conditions are really critical we evaluate together what to do; in general we have always found alternatives that are just as fun as river trekking, exploring lava caves with a Volcanological Guide, mountain bike or e-bike tours … Sicily is a small paradise for the outdoors and there definitely bored.

I have heard that the volcano is very beautiful but dangerous, is it true?2019-05-02T16:09:09+00:00

Etna is the most monitored and active volcano in Europe, for this reason particularly fascinating. It should not be defined as dangerous, but it must certainly be managed as such and above all it is necessary to know it well, for this you will be guided by expert professionals. It may happen that the program undergoes variations due to the weather or the activity of the volcano, but usually it is enough to move to another side to be able to do activities anyway. However, in the worst case scenario we always have alternative proposals.

How much elevation do we make per day?2019-05-02T16:07:35+00:00

Indicatively it is always possible to make trips from around 1000 – 1200 meters a day, but we evaluate it there, based on how the group moves and on the basis of snow and weather conditions.

Accommodation: where are you staying?2019-05-02T16:04:01+00:00

We have several contacts, very nice and comfortable facilities, to quickly reach both sides. These are mostly B & Bs with single, double and triple rooms (a supplement is often required for a single room). Dinner is never included in the package, because every night we go to a different restaurant (already tested several times), to be able to taste different typical products of the rich Sicilian cuisine.

Do you have to be a good skier?2019-05-02T16:02:49+00:00

Etna allows you to make many trips, of various levels, in totally different conditions. A certain familiarity and safety on skis is recommended, especially downhill. Or if you are a group of at least 4-5 people at the same level, we provide you with a guide available only for you with a slight surcharge.

How should I dress for the first experience?2019-05-02T16:01:31+00:00

In ski mountaineering, you go up with seal skins and therefore you need to be able to sweat, breathe and protect yourself in layers. Winter trekking trousers or shell trousers, technical t-shirt and spare shirt are useful. For the high part a very technical sleeveless vest and a breathable fleece or sweater are very valid. Then unpadded windproof jacket. Light and heavy gloves, lighter band to climb and heavy cap to descend. Better still if you have the helmet and the mask.

What should I put in my backpack for my first experiences?2019-05-02T15:59:32+00:00

Water at least ½ liter, some snacks for day trips and course experiences or evening trips While for longer trips we will give you specific information based on the type of excursion.

How can I find suitable skis?2019-05-02T15:58:26+00:00

Don’t be in a hurry to buy the definitive material, there are numerous channels to find excellent equipment without spending an exaggeration

What skiing capacity is required?2020-04-16T07:56:59+00:00

It is good to know how to ski easily on at least red runs, however you can always take part in off-piste days first, you can find them on the page freeride.
