Dedicated to Austrian mountaineer Peter Habeler on his 70th birthday, this trek is one of the most renowned hikes in the region.

The trek is 56.1 kilometers long, has a total ascent and descent of 4,230 meters. The original trek is a 7-day hike. On the accelerated version, you cover the Peter Habeler in 5 days. Are you ready?
