The Good Hiker's manual
Useful information about going in the mountains
The 10 golden rules for any hiker:
-
The mountain must never be underestimated. Always do things you know are within your ability. Exaggeration can endanger your life, those of your friends and of the rescue personnel.
-
In the Park it is forbidden to pick up any type of flower or berry. Doing so you may incur in a fine.
-
Respect where you are by not making loud noises or yelling.
-
Don't litter. Bring your garbage back with you.
-
Always inform someone of your plans.
-
Travel only on the marked paths, equipped with the appropriate equipment.
-
Face every excursion with the right equipment: hiking shoes, wind jacket, long pants, sunglasses, gloves, a hat (even in summer) and a change of clothes.
-
Also, in your backpack always bring a map, a compass, an altimeter, a flashlight and a First Aid kit.
-
Don't forget, for proper nutrition, to always bring food and water
-
If you are not expert hikers and do not know our mountains at all refer to the alpine and hiking guides.
