Equipment

In high alpine locations, weather caprices cannot be ruled out even in summer. The organiser reserves the right to require participants to wear compulsory equipment at the start in the event of bad weather conditions. This will be announced the evening before at the latest. In such a case, a start without this compulsory equipment is not permitted. Minimum components of the compulsory equipment are a rucksack, functioning and charged mobile phone, a rescue blanket, gloves, hat/cap, long trousers and a waterproof and warm jacket. This measure is solely for the safety of the participants.
