Husband has 5.3 aortic aneurism and wants to go backpacking in the alps for 4 nights. is this inadvisable?

You should ask his doctor who knows the details of the aneurysm best. If the aneurysm is getting bigger, that would be more of an issue than if it has been stable for years. So, his doctor should advise him. Good luck to you!
