What gear do I need!
Wear comfortable clothing like – leggings, tracksuit bottoms, breathable T-Shirt and fleece & an extra warm layer (but no cotton fabrics and no jeans).
Be ready for the rain and pack waterproof jacket and rain trousers. A hat and gloves to keep you safe from the wind.
Wear good sturdy hiking boots (No runners) with woolly or synthetic socks.
Have a backpack with water minimum 1.5 litres, sandwiches and snacks, coffee, or tea. There is nothing more rewarding than a nice cup of coffee or tea drunk on top of the mountain.
Don’t forget to bring first aid kit with plaster and bandages, personal medicine, inhaler, epipen etc.

However, maps and a compass can be provided by the instructor. Have your phone fully charged too.

Moderate to difficult at times and up to 7 hours in duration.
The price per hikes is €30
