Useful tipps for your ski tour
- Your packed backpack should not weigh more than 9 kilos for both day tours and multi-day tours
- At home, before leaving, check the weather forecast, the snow report and the avalanche report
- You can adapt your clothing depending on the weather forecast, but you should always bring a warm jacket just in case
- Baselayer made of merino wool keeps you warm even when you sweat and cools you down when it gets too warm
Important ⇨
Before each tour, preferably still at home, switch on your tracker beacon and perform a check
