Take only what you need – and nothing you don’t need! Together with state certified mountain guides from the German Association of Mountain and Ski Guides, we’ve compiled packing lists and some well-earned top tips. Please note that all weights are only intended as a guide and may vary. As a general rule, the higher quality the equipment, the more lightweight it will be. Have fun on your adventures!
