Guests should be prepared for light physical exertion - all tours include several flights of stairs. Guests should be prepared with their own allergy medications, if required. Persons unsure of their physical ability should consult their physician first.

Footwear and Clothing

Ziptrek tours operate in a mountain environment.  Guests must wear flat fully enclosed shoes (that means no flip flops, wedges, heels etc). Running shoes, hiking shoes are ideal.  Winter boots are mandatory for tours that depart in the winter. 

Dress for the weather. It is often 5-10°C colder on our course than it is in the village. 

Here are some helpful resources designed for provide some guidance on what to wear in the winter, fall, spring and summer seasons.

If you are not properly equipped for your tour, for your own safety you will not be allowed to participate and you will not receive a refund.
