Take on the world’s highest peaks with iFIT
The iFIT programmes are constantly renewed to offer you more unique experiences that will leave a lasting impression! On 22 March 2021, the iFIT platform offered a live broadcast of one of the sessions of its new series: A Trek to Base Camp. Now all 18 sequences are available as on-demand
training sessions: browse the iFIT library on the app to get started!
Climbing Everest is the ultimate challenge for all trekking enthusiasts. The world’s highest mountain range in the Himalayas rises to over 8,800 metres! Climbing it is only possible after intensive preparation, a lifelong challenge for many climbers.
The iFIT series A Trek to Base Camp invites you to experience the first stages of this challenge, a trek from Kathmandu to Base Camp at 5,300 metres. For the 22 March live session, the 3 mountain guides who provided this exceptional content were filmed for 30 minutes on the Kala Patthar trail, with a special set-up to show you the sunrise in Nepal.
This event reflects the quality of the iFIT programmes, whose library gives you access to thousands of hours of adventures recorded in paradisiacal landscapes from the four corners of the world.
