high-altitude trails
Elevated hiking routes
High-altitude trails are hiking or climbing paths at elevations where thin air, extreme weather, and rugged terrain present distinct challenges.
The threshold varies by region but typically starts around 8,000 feet.
The high-altitude trails in the Andes require proper acclimatization.
Such routes demand physical conditioning and awareness of altitude sickness risks.
