What до pack, what до skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • Insulated outer layer, hat and boots с grip for ice
  • A packable rain shell - 3 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid май, юни and юли - historically the least comfortable months here.
