1. Clothing

mountain boots (with Vibram sole),

|
clothing for warm weather (shorts, T-shirt) – daytime temperatures can sometimes be clearly over 20°C,
|
|
clothing for cold weather; frosts can occur at night and in the early hours of the morning even in the height of summer,
|
|
rain protection clothing,

| NOTE: fleece garments are best (also and especially as underwear), unless you prefer the feel of wool on your skin. Cotton is unsuitable: once damp, it causes a loss of body heat. |
