Safety information
Check the general and local weather forecast to ensure there is no precipitation. Research the approach hike, elevation of the route, travel time, and possible escape routes (IGN map, GPS, guidebook, etc.).Assess potential risks by consulting mountain professionals, refuge staff, and lodge operators.
Inform a family member or friend of your plans and contact them again if there are any changes: departure and return times, number of participants along with each person’s phone number, vehicle(s), and parking.
Avoid going alone; use equipment appropriate for the activity, properly adjusted and in good condition, such as a headlamp, a complete first-aid kit, a survival blanket, etc.
