·	sunglasses and sunscreen

·	warm clothes (no shorts please, there is always a cold breeze up there)

·	water bottle and water

·	food for longer trips

·	we also suggest a camera and binoculars (as well as chocolate for the guide)

·	boots, although you may be more comfortable in your own hiking shoes or boots (a good lug sole is essential)

·	crampons (spikes for your boots) These are smaller, safer versions of the equipment used by mountaineers when climbing glaciated peaks.

·	gloves, for protection against sharp or slippery ice

·	hat  (even sunny days can be quite cold)

·	rain jacket and pants for overcast/rainy days
