What à pack, what à skip
- A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
- Insulated outer layer, hat and boots avec grip for ice
- A packable rain shell – 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices – frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid janvier, février and mars – historically the least comfortable months here.
