Packing list for your a trekking tour
Applies to every tour
Take as little as possible - but as much as you need! Together with the state-certified mountain guides from the Association of German Mountain and Ski Guides, we have compiled our wealth of experience as tips for you in packing lists. Please bear in mind that all weight specifications are only recommendations and may vary. Generally speaking, you can assume this: The higher the quality of the equipment, the lighter it is. We wish you lots of fun "on tour"!
