These high routes are the great skyline traverses, off-trail hikes and mountaineering routes through large remote mountainous regions, continuously in the alpine, and a bit like being on a summit for the entire trip. Routes range from 3 days to three weeks. Knowledge of mountain terrain, glacier travel, basic mountaineering, map reading and navigation skills is assumed.
