Expect changeable weather with a high chance of rain.

Bring clothes for dry and rainy weather, a cap or hat, gloves, a long-sleeved shirt for cold weather (wool is best), long trousers as well as trousers and a jacket with a waterproof outer layer to protect you from the wind and rain. As for the material, we recommend merino wool, which is excellent for its characteristics (especially for underwear). Footwear must be tried on and worn before arriving at the HIGHLANDER itself. We recommend bringing a spare pair of sneakers or slippers, during the periods of your stay in the camp, to relieve the pressure on your feet, which are under strain all day long.

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

To prepare food, you need to carry a burner and gas, as well as dishes. It is important to think about food preparation and adapt your eating habits to a stay in nature that takes place for several days

Certain equipment is necessary for sleeping and preparing food. It is necessary to have a tent, a waterproof wing or a bivouac bag, a sleeping bag in order to have a real hiking experience. We recommend that you find out about the weight of each individual item that is carried in a backpack for camping purposes.

In order to navigate the trail, you must be able to read a map (provided by the organizer) and a compass.

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

A few days in nature without the possibility of using electricity means that it is necessary to think about external batteries, which are needed to charge all smart devices, which the participants of the HIGHLANDER event rely on.

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 always stay on a leash. See the Rules for more info.
