Alpine Advice

Going out hiking is fun and not difficult. It’s easy to think along the lines of “I just won’t go if the weather is bad”. However, the reality is that hiking in the mountains always comes with an element of risk.

The weather can change abruptly: it can be very hot in the valley and it can be snowing when you get to the summit. Visibility can change from all clear to none. You really want to pay attention to your gear.

In addition to being prepared with the right gear, you will want to consider things like insurance. What if something bad happens to you personally or your stuff just gets lost or stolen? Without proper insurance it can become an expensive affair.
