On February 4th, 17 secondary school students —together with sports teacher Samy and two chaperones— will travel to Tanzania to attempt to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters.
To prepare for this challenge, our adventurers have followed since last December a mandatory intensive training program including 6 to 8 days of trekking and other physical exercises!
The preparations started at the end of the year with a 16 km hike in Yvorne. Additional challenging trainings have included a 15 km trekking between Switzerland and France and a 20 km climb to Lake Tanay. The difficulty of these trainings lies in the high altitudes, which helps participants to get used to the climbing conditions that they will find in Tanzania.
In parallel to their expedition, our team organized a t-shirt sale in support of the expedition. The funds raised will be donated to various charity projects in Tanzania.
More than a sporting expedition, it is above all a human adventure!
