We recommend these items as a guidance for your trip. Temperatuers will vary greatly from night to day, depending on altitude
and season. It may freeze at night, and be sunny in the afternoons when a light chamois shirt is enough. It may rain and snow.
Prepare for wind on high, snowcovered peaks. Layered clothing is best, remember four seasons in one day!
