Clothing adapted to the season and conditions (cold, hot, wet...)

Hiking shoes suited to the terrain (even for children!)

Telescopic poles (useful for stability and to take pressure off joints)

Find out about general and local weather conditions, making sure there's no precipitation.

Find out about the approach to the route, its height, how long it will take to reach the summit, and any possible escapes (IGN map, GPS, topo-guide, etc.).

Evaluate possible risks by asking mountain professionals, refuges and gîtes.

Inform someone close to you of your objective, and contact them again in the event of any changes: departure and return times, number of participants with telephone numbers for each, vehicle(s), parking, etc.

Avoid setting off alone, and use equipment that is suitable for the activity, adjusted and in good condition: headlamp, complete first-aid kit, survival blanket, etc.

In case of emergency, call 112
