Mountain hikes require specific clothing and equipment. Even for relatively short and easy outings, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to deal with unforeseen events such as a sudden storm or a drop in energy.
What to bring for a mountain hike?
In the backpack (for a day hike, a 25/30L pack is usually recommended), it is good to bring:
- water bottle (1L)
- snack (for example, dried fruit or chocolate)
- first aid kit
- windbreaker jacket
- a fleece sweater
- spare t-shirt and socks (preferably sealed in a plastic bag)
- worn or at least carried in the backpack a pair of long pants
- cap
- sunscreen
- sunglasses
- gloves
- whistle to be found in case of emergency

Also wear appropriate footwear for the route and season. The trail surface can be uneven or rough and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. A grassy slope, a rock slab or a steep path, if wet, can become dangerous without proper footwear.
Finally... don't forget the camera! It will help you capture the hike and the countless breathtaking views that Garda Trentino hides around every corner. If you want to share your memories with us, you can use the hashtag #GardaTrentino
