START WITH THE ACTIVITY

Your practical kit checklist

Use this as a starting point, then adapt it to your route, season, accommodation and organiser requirements.

01

Mountain footwear with good grip

Prioritise grip and stable footing over low weight alone.

02

Layers for cold, rain and sun

Carry layers for sun, wind, cold and rain in a pack you can manage on steep terrain.

03

Map, water and a compact overnight pack

Check each rifugio’s bedding and payment requirements before packing.

CHOOSE WITH PURPOSE

Buy only what you actually need

Start with what you already own and test it on a similar training session or walking day. Fit, conditions and your stage plan matter more than a brand or price.

Check the current requirements

Kit lists, permitted equipment and conditions can change. Use the official information for your route or edition before travelling or buying anything.
