Windermere from the hills with a traditional stone wall and stile, 123RF
We rate this trip as very strenuous. You should be an active hiker in good physical condition. You should be capable of walking 7 to 8 hours per day on rugged trails with some steep ascents and descents (averaging 2,500 to 3,500 vertical feet per day) at an elevation up to 3500 feet above sea level. Due to the rugged terrain and challenging underfoot, this trek is more difficult than most of our Alpine treks.
