  • Tip Rating:
  • Luggage And Bags:
    In other tips I wrote about rain, sun, fog, rocks. . . . Well, what to take with you for a hike in the National Park? A good picnic, of course, some drinks if you do not like the water of the creeks (But there is absolutely no danger drinking it!)and:
    * Sun cream, as at high elevation the sun rays contain still much more UVs than at sea level.
    * Good hiking shoes; do not try to walk with other shoes than hiking boots, even not sports shoes, your ankles are precious.


    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear:
    * Warm clothes, and rain gear, good wind cutters.
    * Guides and maps (tourist offices, book shops) if you like to know where you are and where you are going, and. . . have arguments with your co-hikers.
    * A camera, of course; if you have a SLR camera, it is worth to have a UV filter on the lens, it enhances contrast and gives better colours; I used sometimes my sunglasses in front of a compact camera; results are. . . interesting!
    And if you are going on long high trails, and glaciers, you know what you do; don’t forget ice axe, crampons, rope if you are a team, etc. . .

     Enjoyed your photos & tips from Pyrenees. I was fortunate to have a week on the Spanish side back in my pre-VT days. Stunningly beautiful area.

     Superbe page sur une chaine de montagnes que je connais peu. J'aime surtout la photo avec les arbres qui modifient leur verticalité avec le terrain jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient profondément enracinés! Mais toutes tes photos sont remarquables!

     Outstanding page with brilliant photos and very detailed tips! I'm impressed by wonderful mountain landscapes which reminded me the Caucasus. Thanks Hermann for this virtual tour!
