Equipment
MOUNTAIN FOOTWEAR (mountain boot or sneaker)
For each stage and depending on the condition of the terrain and/or weather forecast, the recommended type of footwear height (boot or sneaker) will be indicated.
CLOTHING
As the routes run through mid and high mountain environments, and the climate can change quickly and drastically, WE RECOMMEND regardless of the route difficulty the following items:
- Long pants. If the route characteristics along with expected weather allow the use of shorts, carry a piece to cover the rest of the leg exposed, either a second pair of pants or long tights in the backpack in all cases.
- First body layer (short-sleeved breathable and quick-drying T-shirt) (tank tops are not recommended due to being unsuitable for carrying backpacks).
- Second body layer, thermal layer consisting of a thin/medium fleece or long-sleeved thermal shirt.
- Third body layer, waterproof rain jacket and windbreaker with hood.
- Cap / Buff or similar for sun protection.
Even if some of these garments are not used during the itinerary, it is recommended to carry them in the backpack throughout the entire route and be ready to use them in case of weather changes or any unforeseen event to avoid hypothermia in case of sudden weather change or incident prolonging the day.
MINIMUM BACKPACK CONTENT
- 20-30 liter mountain backpack with waterproof cover.
- Personal first aid kit with special medications if needed.
- Water (minimum 2 liters).
- Food (according to route duration).
- Sunscreen, cap/hat, and sunglasses.
- Identification documents and charged phone.
