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.
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.
Before leaving you must consider carefully what to bring with you, for this we will organize a dedicated meeting in which we will verify the material you have and how to integrate it:
– 2 short-sleeved technical shirts

– a heavy trekking trousers
– a light or primaloft down jacket
– a fleece or heavy sweater

· In the morning we have a nice breakfast all together: coffee, tea, eggs, bread, jam and porridge, the quantities are usually very abundant.
· 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.
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.
