Day 3
In the morning we will hike to Bethlehem hut. This day is quite simple. The trail leads from Saberts to the hut of Bethlehem and is only 3.5 kilometers long. However, we have to walk on the ice for the last 1.5 kilometers and we may need to use the lane. Bethlehem hut is located at 3650 meters above sea level and therefore we will have to climb 650 meters the next day.

Day 4: Acclimatization
The fourth day is the day of acclimatization. For acclimatization we go to Bethlehem Church, which is located at 3900 meters above sea level. The trail from the church continues to the right and climbs up to 4000 meters. After acclimatization, we will recall the rules of standing in a rope, the use of icebreakers and other mining equipment, and wait until we reach the top.
