There are marked trails for hiking and ski tracks in terrains throughout the mountain wilderness, and at much lower elevations than in mountain regions in many other countries. A lot of summits can be reached on foot or on skis, without special mountaineering skills, though skills are required and guides advisable for traversing glaciers.
Here you can hike, ski and ride your bike following the routes of the networks interconnecting lodges and cabins, enjoying the mountain experience without needing the acclimatisation to altitude required in other mountain areas, such as the Alps of Europe or the Rockies of North America.
