Toughest Treks

For those seeking the ultimate test of human endurance, the world's toughest treks represent mountaineering at its most demanding.

These legendary journeys challenge adventurers with extreme altitudes exceeding 6,000 metres, treacherous glacier crossings, and potentially weeks of isolation in the planet's most remote mountain ranges.
