Equipment

Suitable for hikers who are not afraid of heights and sure-footed. Good physical condition, some alpine experience, and mountain equipment recommended. Please take note of the current weather report.

Appropriate equipment for alpine mountain hikes is a matter of course for all routes in the Alps. Secure hiking boots or mountain boots, breathable outdoor pants, a rain jacket, as well as a backpack with provisions, drinks, and a first aid kit always belong to the standard equipment for tours in the Alps. Sunglasses, sunscreen, headwear such as a bandana or hiking hat are also highly recommended, as well as a warm second jacket, trekking poles if desired, and possibly gloves. The choice of clothing should of course always be adapted to the current weather.
