- Base Layer Shirts
Quick-drying shirts that wick sweat away and keep you warm when you stop.
- Climbing harness
A climbing harness is often used around the waist to secure the descender. A comfortable climbing harness is important for descents that may take many hours.[Wikipedia]
- Cross-country skis, poles and boots
Classic and skating need different skis, boots and pole lengths. Most cross-country centres rent complete sets.
- Helmets
Helmets may be worn to protect the head from bumps and falling rocks. A light source may be mounted on the helmet in order to keep the hands free in unlit areas. [Wikipedia]
- Long Johns
A warm base layer under ski or hiking trousers.
- Ski Socks
Long, thin ski socks prevent pressure points in ski boots. Take one pair per day or wash them.
- Thin gloves
Cross-country skiing or skinning uphill, thick ski gloves get too warm. Thin windproof gloves are enough; keep warm ones for breaks and the descent.
- Trail pass
In many regions groomed trails cost a fee, by the day or the season. You can buy the pass online, at the tourist office or at a machine by the trail.
- Via ferrata gloves
Gloves protect your hands on the steel cable and the rock. With half fingers you can still handle the carabiners well.
- Via ferrata set
Two lanyards with an energy absorber and carabiners, tied into your harness. Check its age and condition; for the odd tour you can rent one.
- Walking boots
Sturdy boots with ankle support and a good tread for mountain trails. Break them in before the trip.
