In the mountains, with safety!
When in the mountains, be always careful and consider the possible risks in order to face and manage them.
Even before choosing the location and the difficulty of the outing, assess your own capabilities and physical preparation.
Check the weather and avalanche forecasts; moreover, ask a mountain guide for information on snow condition and on seasonal weather patterns.
Equipment
Decide what equipment take with you: a well-prepared backpack is essential, complete with a change of clothes, sufficient food and water, map and if necessary ski wax, compass and first-aid kit.
For safety in the snow, an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe must also be on hand.
Rope, harnesses, crampons, and an ice axe will be crucial for outings that involve glaciers or other long, arduous itineraries, always guided by the expert local mountain guides.
