Expect fickle and changeable weather.

In Galichica morning temperatures in September go as low as 8°C and daytime as high as 25°C or more. Showers, fog patches, strong winds, and long periods of sunshine are only a few weather conditions to expect. Prepare for all-weather as well as you can.

Bring both dry weather and rain clothing, including a cap or hat, gloves, cold-weather long-sleeve t-shirt (preferably wool), hiking trousers as well as rain trousers and a rain jacket.

For reheating food, you will need LPG or alcohol/gasoline.

To find your way around, you must know how to read maps (which will be provided by the Organizer) and use a compass.

For your safety, all participants must bring a first aid kit.

We believe our participants love and cherish nature and all its beauty. We know you wouldn’t litter, so please bring a waste bag for your litter.

Littering on and around trails, checkpoints, and mountain lodges are forbidden. Litterers will be disqualified and banned from applying to any future HIGHLANDER events.

Dogs are welcome but must stay on the leash at all times. Dogs are allowed on transportation buses.
