If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, Dolomist offers you the opportunity to explore the snowy trails of this extraordinary region.
Get Ready for an Unforgettable Winter Adventure
Before setting out on your hikes in the Dolomites, it is important to be well prepared. Proper clothing and equipment are essential to facing winter conditions in complete safety and comfort.
Warm and Functional Clothing
A thermal base layer, followed by an insulating mid layer and a waterproof and windproof outer layer will keep you dry and warm even on the coldest days. Don't forget gloves, a hat and a scarf to protect the most exposed parts of your body.
Snowshoes and Trekking Poles
Snowshoes will help you move easily through the snow, while trekking poles will help you maintain balance and distribute your weight. Make sure you have a pair of snowshoes that are appropriate for your weight and the type of terrain you will be tackling.
Safety Equipment
Always carry a flashlight, a thermal blanket, a whistle and a first aid kit. It is also advisable to check the weather and route conditions before setting out.
