Preliminary precautions: before setting off, always check the weather and the conditions of the trail. It is advisable to contact local tourist offices or mountain hut keepers for real-time updates. In winter, greater planning skills are required to carry out an itinerary independently and safely. Before starting the excursion it is essential to consult the weather forecast and, for activities on snow, always read the Avalanche Bulletins and plan the trip on the basis of the information they contain.
If you are not experienced, it is advisable to be accompanied by a Guide.
