Advice for your hiking:
- Trekking boots: they must be of good quality, with a rigid sole and an adequate profile, waterproof and breathable; they must firmly support the ankles and fit perfectly. Get advice from experienced people and try various models. Try the shoes on at home, to prevent your first hike with the shoes from becoming a "torture" with blisters on the feet.
- Clothing: wear layers of clothing. The first layer should be breathable underwear that dries quickly, technical shirt or t-shirt, trousers, a warm layer (e.g. fleece jacket or soft-shell), as well as a wind proof and rainproof jacket.
- Sun protection: sunscreen is absolutely necessary on sunny days, but it is also recommended with cloudy skies. A head covering prevents sun insolation and also protects the nape. Remember, finally, that your eyes must also be protected with good sunglasses.
- If the weather is cold, equip yourself with gloves and a hat.
- Backpack and trekking poles: in your room you will find a backpack and trekking poles. Fill the backpack by carefully choosing what you actually need. The poles are particularly useful downhill and help to protect the joints.
- Supplies: for each daily hike bring some snacks, preferably fruit, energy bars, a sandwich and dextrose. You should always have a bottle with water - at least 1 litre per person, but you should have even more water if you take long hikes without the possibility of refreshment.
- First aid kit: the kit should contain your personal medicine, bandages of various sizes, disinfectant and sterile dressings, tablets, gauze, a roll of adhesive tape, scissors, disposable gloves, thermal blanket (gold/silver film). If necessary, add painkillers, blister patches and a pair of glasses or spare lenses. You should have a flash light and whistle in your backpack to be able to attract attention in the event of an emergency.
- Mobile phone with full battery: to alert rescuers in critical situations.
- Hiking map: you should always have a good map of the area that allows you to always find the right path.
- Garbage bag: for all types of waste including paper handkerchiefs and fruit waste, to be disposed regularly! Bring all waste back to your room. We will dispose of it correctly.
- Required physical conditions If you are in "good health", there are no contraindications for a hiking holiday, regardless of your age. However, you should prepare yourself already at home, for example by training your resistance with regular fast-paced walks.
- Be careful not to overestimate yourself: calculate your strength and ability for each trip well: you do not just have to reach your destination, but also come back!
- Choosing a suitable hike: we will gladly help you choose the most suitable hike based on your skills. Our reception staff will gladly advise you in a competent manner.
- Guided hikes: an ideal way to discover the most beautiful corners of the Dolomites of Braies are our guided hikes. You can take part in these tours for free. Our hiking guides answer all your questions and provide lots of interesting information about our region.
