You will fly to Geneva on Monday morning and return to Heathrow on Friday evening. Students will need basic hiking equipment to include a hiking bag, walking poles, walking boots and suitable clothing. You will be staying in refuge huts at each stage of the trek.

A good degree of physical fitness is required as you will be hiking around 15-20km per day with elevation and descent. You will also be required to carry your pack in some sections. It will be a requirement that students attend a strength and conditioning session once per week alongside one endurance training per week in the summer term to ensure you are well prepared for the trip.
