  • Check weather forecasts before setting off to hike.
  • Don´t go alone
  • Tell someone your intended destination and expected time of arrival
  • Carry a small rucksack with warm clothing, waterproofs, food and plenty of water.
  • Don´t forget such simple items as: sun hat, protective cream and sun glasses.
  • Carry a mobile phone with fully-charged battery, a map and, if possible, a compass. They will probably never be used but, when required, are of vital importance.
  • Wear suitable gear, especially footwear: trekking boots or similar are essential, trainers or pumps are to be avoided.
• AUTRES REMARQUES: The hike must be prepared for and the considerable physical effort it involves taken into account. Carry plenty of water, extra food and adequate clothing for the time of year. Set off as early as possible in summer. Do not stray from the path in the summit region.
