The fitness level for all trips is classified according to the average distance and elevation gain of the walks offered, with fitness levels ranging from 1-5 (see below). Of course, qualifying the overall difficulty of a trip is much more complex and numbers alone are not enough. In fact, several other factors must also be taken into account, such as the terrain, the possibility to offer optional pick-ups which allow one to walk less or miss out on more difficult sections of a walk, or because there is one day of the trip that happens to be more difficult than the others. The fitness level established for each trip aims to reflect all of these factors.
