Be safe in the mountains If you go on a trip with your classmates, your family or your friends, you should remember some important advices I’ll give you in this article. First of all, you should know something about the condition of the mountain and choose the itinerary based on it. Make sure you have a look on the forecast, if you go walk in the country you’ll know how to dress and you can take an umbrella with you, if you go walking in the mountains you must know that there the weather can change quickly and if it becomes bad it can be very dangerous: temperature drops 6/7 degrees every 1000 meters and wind can blow very strongly. You should always plan the route before the trip, whether in the mountains or in the country, considering the length of the route and adapt it to your physical conditions and technical skills. If you aren’t aware of which level your technical skills are, ask an expert. Bring equipment in good conditions with you and appropriate clothing, prepare the backpack in a functional way and adapt it to the trip you’ll do, don’t forget to charge the battery of your mobile phone. Always communicate to someone (school, family member, friend) the destination, the chosen itinerary and the expected time of return. And the last advice is that you should never go if you’re not sure about something I wrote above, it’s better to give up and leave another day.
