Useful Advice

General Advice

Always be aware of your abilities and never exceed your limits. Never set off alone; remember that the group is important.
Always tell someone your destination and expected time of return.

Weather

Always study the terrain and weather forecasts, and give up if weather conditions are adverse. If the weather changes or any unforeseen circumstances arise, have the humility to abandon the endeavour, however small or large it may be.

Telephone

Always carry a fully charged mobile phone with you, preferably with a spare battery. Always carry emergency numbers with you.

Equipment

Water and food: At least 1 litre, high-calorie foods.
Windbreaker and jumper/sweatshirt: even when the forecast is favourable. Fleece hat and gloves: these can be useful in many unexpected situations. First aid kit: even for the simplest of hikes.
Sun cream: the sun in the mountains can be particularly strong.

Transport

Buses: where several companies are listed, some may be private. Trains: where the destination town does not have its own station, the nearest station has been indicated, but it may not be directly accessible on foot.

Accommodation capacity

It is strongly recommended to book accommodation at least 1-2 days before your expected arrival. Some establishments are willing, upon request, to transport walkers from the end of the stage to the establishment itself.
