Book huts or permits 6–12 months ahead for peaks like Tour du Mont Blanc or Patagonia circuits, as slots vanish fast. Target shoulder seasons to dodge crowds and score deals. Layer itineraries with rest days to acclimate at altitude.
Train with loaded packs on varied terrain 3–6 months prior, focusing on endurance over 20km daily. Hydrate aggressively and monitor weather apps for sudden storms. Stick to marked trails to avoid fines or rescues.
Prioritize ultralight gear under 10kg base weight for efficiency. Hone navigation with GPS apps like Gaia alongside paper maps. Go guided for first-timers on technical routes; self-navigate familiar classics.
