What do pack, what do skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • Insulated outer layer, hat and boots s grip for ice
  • A packable rain shell - 7 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 január, február and marec - historically the least comfortable months here.
