Garda Trentino Trail

Safety Tips 

1. Choose itineraries that suit your physical and technical abilities. Collect information about the area you are visiting and the trail’s conditions and get a detailed trekking map.
2. Wear clothes and take equipment that suit the difficulty and length of your tour. Keep emergency gear in your rucksack, including first aid supplies.
3. Do not go walking alone in the mountains. In any case, tell someone where you are going and report back on returning.
4. Look at the weather forecast before setting off and always keep an eye on the weather.
5. In case of doubt, go back. It is better to give up than risk bad weather or face difficulties beyond your strength, ability and equipment.
6. Do not leave marked paths and do not take shortcuts.
7. All described walks are in a natural environment and therefore their use is at your own risk.

Trail running outings, however short, require specific clothing and equipment. Even on relatively short and easy outings, it is always best to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to cope with unforeseen events such as a sudden storm or a drop in energy.

In your rucksack (for one of the proposed excursions a 5/12L is usually recommended) it is good to carry

• water bottle or other container with at least 0.5 litre of water (in each case depending on the presence of water points, as described)
• food supply (depending on individual needs - see also the presence of support points on the route)
• first aid kit
• whistle
• windproof jacket (suitable for bad weather conditions in the mountains)
• depending on the weather forecast at the time of the outing, consider bringing other equipment for possible adverse conditions (warm and waterproof clothing in case of rain or expected cold weather, such as gloves, cap, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers)

Wear footwear/socks suitable for running in a natural environment/slopes/technical descents.
