This program is with the maximum comfort and amusement to give you the possibility to climb two of the most attractive mountains in Armenian Highland and Caucasus region. For this program you don\u2019t need to have mountaineering experience to climb Aragats. Aragats is a completely trekking mountain without glaciers and snow. And for climbing mount Kazbek<\/a><\/span> you need basic outdoor experience such as sleeping at high altitude and walking in temperatures below 0. Read more detailed how to prepare for climbing Kazbek<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The climb mostly involves glacier walking. So in case of proper acclimatization there won\u2019t be serious difficulties to take this challenge. Yet take into account that it is still a high altitude mountaineering – 5047 meters, so it\u2019s better if you consult with doctors, before taking this challenge. Before the climb we will have enough time to know each other better, understand our strengths and weaknesses and figure out how to become more prepared before climbing Kazbek.<\/p>\n

Climbing Aragats will help us with the acclimatization, as we will sleep at an altitude of 3200 meters and climb the Northern peak – 4090 meters. Meanwhile this will not waste all your energy, as the route to the top and back is a one day trekking. In case you won\u2019t have anything from the gear and equipment, it is always possible to rent it from Yerevan or Stepantsminda (Georgia).<\/p>\n\n
