Mount Laila is 4010 meters high and it is not very steep. For this reason, it is the perfect mountain for unexperienced alpinists, and also for the more experienced alpinists who want to train for expeditions to the higher summits around Laila.

In the backyard of the village where our company is estabilished, Mount Laila is located. It is not the most difficult mountain if you compare it to its altitude. If you do not have many experince in alpinism but you often dream of climbing mountains, Mount Laila is recommended. To reach its summit, little experience with ice climbing is needed, and also the right experience.
