Overnight Stay on the Southern Summit of Mount Aragats
On July 25-26, 2026, we will climb the Southern Summit of Aragats (3887m). But this is no ordinary climb. In addition to acclimatization, this ascent aims to train the body to sleep at high altitudes. And why are we doing this? There is only one answer: to prepare for the summit push on Mount Ararat, as on that day we will spend the night at an altitude of 4100 m and start trekking during the night.
