Packing List

• Don't wear cotton on your skin – it absorbs moisture and lowers your body temperature
• Choose thermal underwear and a synthetic/cotton mix that also insulates when wet
• Make sure your outer layer is windproof but breathable
• Avoid tight clothing
• A balaclava is a must against cold, wind, sun and snow
• Pack extra dry clothes in plastic in your daypack

• Wear your heavy boots on the plane – this saves a lot of weight in your luggage
• Try on your layered clothing beforehand so they fit easily over each other
• Batteries and powerbanks lose charge quickly at low temperatures – keep them warm, for example on your skin or in an inner pocket
• Pack dry clothes in plastic bags in your daypack to keep them dry
• Bring enough warm socks – you really need them

Available for rent at the hotel:

• Trekking poles / ski poles
• Sleeping bag (if needed)
