Difficulty grading

All trekking tours in our programmes are graded according to the Rulebook on the Safe Conduct of Mountaineering Activities (P 120), Article 22, of the Mountaineering Association of Serbia. The grade is always given in the same order: first the technical difficulty of the trail (T), then the length of walking in one day in hours (K), and finally the altitude difference covered in one day (V), for example T1 K3 V2.

The grades refer to a single day, not to the tour as a whole, and are given with each day of the programme that includes walking. Activities that are not mountaineering tours – horse riding, rafting, the via ferrata and the visit to the Perito Moreno glacier – are not graded on this scale. Please check before booking that your mountaineering experience matches the grades given in this programme.

T – Technical difficulty of the trail

T1 – Easy trail. Walking without using the hands. The trail has no technically difficult sections or sharp changes in gradient, and is wide and well kept enough for less experienced hikers to move safely. Care and basic physical fitness are required. Trekking poles are recommended.
T2 – Demanding trail. Leads through technically more difficult sections with a more pronounced gradient, where the hands are occasionally used for safety. Safety equipment and fixed aids are not necessary, but great care, good physical and mental fitness and mountaineering experience are required.
T3 – Very demanding trail. Contains one or more very difficult technical sections with a steep gradient, where using the hands is necessary and wearing a helmet and other protective equipment is mandatory. On the harder sections a climbing rope, ice axe and crampons are used. Intended only for very experienced and physically and mentally well-prepared hikers. Not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo.

K – Length of walking in one day

K1 – Easy: less than 5 hours of walking
K2 – Moderately hard: 5 to 7 hours of walking
K3 – Hard: 7 to 9 hours of walking
K4 – Very hard: more than 9 hours of walking

V – Altitude difference covered in one day

V1: less than 500 m
V2: 500 to 1,000 m
V3: 1,000 to 1,300 m
V4: more than 1,300 m

Note on the V grade: the grade refers to the altitude difference covered on the ascent during one day. The descent is not counted in this grade, however large it is.

Important: To take part in this tour, participants must meet all three grades together. The PSS classification does not cover the effect of weather conditions, and Patagonia is known for extremely strong and sudden wind, which can make movement considerably harder and lengthen the tour, especially on exposed sections above the tree line. In line with weather conditions, the state of the trail and the assessment of how well prepared the group is, the guide reserves the right to adjust the plan for the day, shorten a section or postpone the tour, with the safety of participants always taking priority.

Important notes

Travellers must give the agency a valid passport and a working phone number. The traveller is responsible for the validity of the travel document. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of return and have enough blank pages for entry into the country.
Travellers must familiarise themselves with the regulations and entry requirements of the country they are travelling to, on the official websites of its authorities or of the country’s diplomatic and consular missions.

The organiser reserves the right to change individual elements of the programme in the event of unforeseen circumstances (weather conditions, safety reasons, changes in the work of local partners, flight schedules and the like), without affecting the overall quality of the trip.
Travellers must have suitable travel health insurance, as well as insurance that covers mountaineering activities if they take part in the trekking tours.
Visa and entry requirements depend on the country of your citizenship. Each traveller is responsible for checking the current entry, transit and visa rules for their own passport well before departure and for obtaining all the necessary visas and travel documents.
Travellers must respect the local laws and customs of the country they are visiting, as well as the instructions of the guide and the agency’s representatives during the programme.
