SPECIFIC DISCLAIMER
Trekking

Trekking or mountain hiking is an activity based on walking on mountain terrain along routes which are more or less difficult, but not easily accessible. They require physical and mental effort, as well as a minimum of preparation and proper equipment, in view of the length of the trekking and the environment where it is carried out.

The risks are typical of a physical activity carried out in a difficult and inhospitable environment (injuries from falling down and/or crushing to the ground from above, tendinitis due to over-exertion of limbs or their incorrect use; Sun burn/erythema; Sun stroke; physical exhaustion etc.)

What you need to know:

• For excursions lasting more than one day and also in the case of high altitude trekking, individual equipment must consist of the following: Trekking boots (no gym shoes or sandals,) mountain backpack and its cover (for a day excursion a 30 liter backpack is sufficient, while we suggest a 50-60 liter backpack for excursions of several days), waterproof and windproof jacket with hood, microfibre technical t-shirts, micro-fleece and windproof fleece, trekking socks, long trekking trousers (NO jeans), sun hat and wool hat, gloves (in winter waterproof ones are better), water bottle of at least 1 LITETR, sunglasses, sun cream stick for lips; optional ski poles).
• Before starting the activity, the Tour Guide will hold a briefing to supply specific information regarding the activity, which is about to be undertaken, as well as indications on the equipment supplied and how to carry out the activity safely. All participants must collaborate and follow all the indications of the Tour Guide.
• Only in the case of excursions lasting less than a day and in a NON-high-altitude environment can the equipment be reduced to a backpack with a change of clothing, water bottle/thermos, sunglasses and hat, water and a snack; camera or action camera which will possibly be made available by Garda Dolomiti.
• With the exception of an activity lasting several days and/or at high altitude, no particular experience is requested. It is indispensable however to be in good physical shape, not to suffer from vertigo and from fear of the void and to have an inclination for activities requiring mental and physical effort. No drug or alcohol abuse.
