The age limit for tour participants is at least 10 years old and at least 65 years old. If the age of the tourist exceeds 65 years, the decision on his participation in the tour program is made on the basis of questionnaires. When booking a tour, we ask you to reflect information about your health and physical fitness as accurately as possible in the questionnaire.
Participants are required to be in good physical shape and have no medical contraindications to physical exertion (cardiovascular diseases, etc.).
The main diseases for which it is not recommended to go to the mountains:
Individual intolerance to oxygen deficiency, angina pectoris of functional class III-IV, hypertension of the 3rd grade, chronic renal failure, acute stages of somatic diseases (myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, hypertensive crisis, asthmatic status in bronchial asthma, etc.), cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, stage of exacerbation of chronic inflammatory processes, acute infectious diseases.
In the mountains at an altitude of 3,500 meters, the air is more rarefied, there is less oxygen in it. Therefore, some tourists experience symptoms of “high altitude (mountain) diseases”: weakness, lethargy, rapid heartbeat, light dizziness, insomnia, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, etc. These symptoms can occur at an altitude of 3,500 meters above sea level. In case of a complication, lowering the height can help relieve the symptoms.
Mountain sickness does not occur in children more often than in adults, but it is much more difficult to diagnose it, since not all children can adequately explain what is bothering them. Any malaise should be mistaken for altitude sickness and measures should be taken until the real source of the poor condition is found.
Pregnant women can tolerate heights up to 2,500 meters above sea level. But still, they should not participate in mountain climbing, as excessive physical exertion can cause miscarriage, and there is also a risk of an accident.
Elderly people can tolerate altitude sickness without additional complications, but they can take physical exertion harder. The tourist bears full responsibility for intentionally hiding information about diseases from the organizers, which can lead to irreversible consequences.
We have no right to monitor your health status. Therefore, we are not responsible for accidents that occur as a result of your body's reaction to altitude differences and oxygen starvation in the mountains.
