Expect fickle and changeable weather. Bring both dry weather and rain clothing, including a cap or hat, gloves, cold-weather long-sleeve t-shirt (preferably wool), hiking trousers as well as rain trousers and a rain jacket.

For reheating food, you will need LPG or alcohol/gasoline.

 To find your way around, you must know how to read maps (which will be provided by the Organizer) and use a compass.

For your safety, all participants must bring a first aid kit.

We believe our participants love and cherish nature and all its beauty. We know you wouldn’t litter, so please bring a waste bag for your litter.

Littering on and around trails, checkpoints, and mountain lodges are forbidden. Litterers will be disqualified and banned from applying to any future HIGHLANDER events.

Dogs are welcome but must always stay on a leash.
