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

Reliable mountain footwear

Test footwear on long descents as well as climbs.

02

Warm and waterproof layers

Keep warm and waterproof layers reachable when crossing higher ground.

03

Navigation, water and a suitable trekking pack

Carry offline navigation and a suitable day or overnight pack based on where you sleep.

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.
