Safety and rules of good practice:- All routes are undertaken at the hiker's own risk, as they are not supervised. - Before setting off, make sure you are aware of the weather conditions and the risk of avalanches, and remember to bring warm, waterproof clothing. Mountain weather changes very quickly. A high avalanche risk means that trails are closed. - Choose a route suited to your level and physical condition. - Follow the signposting instructions. - Do not stray from the marked routes. - Tell someone close to you about your outing and the route you have chosen. - Never hike alone. - Don't leave too late in the afternoon to make sure you're back before dark. - Do not use the cross-country or downhill ski runs. Crossing the pistes is only permitted on marked crossings. - Take plenty of food and water with you. Mountain sports require a lot of energy. Mountain inns and high-altitude restaurants exist on certain routes.
Equipment required : - A hat - Gloves - Sunglasses - Poles - Mountain boots In the bag : - Warm clothing - Hot drinks and snacks - Mobile phone - First-aid kit - Sun cream.
