Know-how

During a mountainous tour, you should wear shoes with stiffer soles. Blisters can be prevented with well-fitting socks.

On a hike, it is better to carry too much liquid than too little. Food should be varied and contain slow-release carbs.

Prepare for all weather conditions by layering i.e. follow the onion principle, so you can adjust your temperature.

For short trips, you only need a 25 L rucksack. For longer tours, you need one that is bigger and more sophisticated.

Sun cream, sunglasses, and headgear are essentials on any tour. It’s a good idea to have hiking poles.
