Acclimatization at high altitude, first-choice equipment, adapted alimentation, planning and modification in respect of your attitudes and needs: TREK ONLINE provides the necessary operational know-how and guarantees that each itinerary corresponds to the TREK ONLINE articles «Quality & nature» and «Safety and sport» OUR ARTICLE «SECURITY & SPORT»: Principle of maximum precaution: 1 guide for 2 persons. Objective: To arrive at high mountain areas is not as hard as to descend from them all together. Safety: it is the main common vector for the whole group of TREK ONLINE. For expeditions and treks in high altitudes: We indicate very clearly the physical and technical level of every itinerary. Please see also the page «Level» to determine your present level. Our technical specialists, Judith and Eric, would appreciate to answer your questions by mail or phone. They will have the pleasure to meet you at our physically most demanding trips. If your present level is below the required level of the trip which you long to join, we readily advise you how you can reach the fitness for the necessary techniques... An adapted choice, professional advice: All our departures take place with small groups of 2 to 6 persons, 8 persons maximum.

One expertise in evaluation: Our high mountain area guides are all guides of the Club Andin of Bolivia and the Club Andin of Mendoza or of other local alpine clubs. This allows us to benefit from approved guides having real experience in the area, the paths and the altitude. All our Bolivian guides have attended practical courses organized by ENSA (French High Mountaineer’s Club) in Chamonix, France. Quick and reliable means of communication: All our groups dispose two satellite phones: one for the group and one for the guide. These phones allow us to be in contact with our bases at our different starting points. Our guides also carry walkie-talkies for permanent contact with the base camps.
