PACKING LIST - Recommended Gear and Clothing equipment
Safety is our priority. To ensure a safe and enjoyable group hike in the Dolomites, make sure you have the right gear. Here is what we recommend:
FOOTWEAR
High-cut hiking boots with a stiff sole (e.g. Vibram) and waterproof (e.g. Gore- tex) are a must. You'll be walking for hours over rocks, roots, and possibly snow patches.
Running shoes or low-cut hiking shoes are NOT suitable, even if they have a rugged sole.
CLOTHING: Dress in layers, to easily adapt to changing weather and temperatures.
Bring a warm jacket (down or equivalent), of medium thickness: even in summer, temperatures can drop to just a few degrees above freezing during the day at high altitude.
A fully waterproof and windproof shell jacket (e.g. Gore-Tex or similar) is essential – rain or thunderstorms are always a possibility.
A backpack large enough to carry your clothing, food, and daily essentials.
A hat or a bandana
OTHER
A large water bottle that can hold at least 1.5 liters of water
Energy bars or snacks for each day (grocieries available in the morning/evening, as well as mountain huts serving hot meals every day)
A small foldable umbrella can be useful in some situations.
Sunscreen
Sunglasses with an appropriate UV protection level
Lip balm with UV protection
Some cash (€), although the majority of huts do accept credit cards (lunches are not included)
