Is a Pillow Necessary when Long-Distance Hiking?

A pillow may not be compulsory for outdoor sleeping and it may be easy to forget it and disregard it as unimportant. But if you want a proper sleep after your outdoor activity, to recharge and to be ready to continue next day, it may be necessary. This will depend also on what type of sleeper you are.

How Much Water Do I Need for a 2-Day Hike?

I am sure that there are many possible answers to the question in the title. I am neither a medical doctor nor a nutritionist, but I am a mountaineer.

So from my experience, I never go without a minimum of 1.5 liters per day, usually this is 2-2.5 liters, and sometimes even 2.5-3 liters if this is a very warm day or a very demanding tour.

At elevation of 2143 m above sea level, with a relatively easy access from the surrounding valleys, and with a pleasant mountain hut nearby, Lago Coldai is a very popular place.

If you visit it from the main road in Val di Zoldo, there are no exposed passages, and you do not need any special equipment to get to this beautiful alpine lake.

Hunting Crystals in the Alps: A Thrilling Reason to Explore

The Alps contain a variety of valuable crystals, each with unique characteristics and appeal, making the region a significant area for mineral collectors and enthusiasts.

Collectors, geologists, and mineral enthusiasts often explore the Alps, especially areas like the Swiss Alps and the Mont Blanc region, in search of these crystals.

What to Do if You Are Caught in a Storm in the Mountains?

When you are in the mountains and the weather is unstable, keep an eye on how the weather changes. If you are caught in a storm, do not panic.

Try to get off exposed places as soon as possible, to avoid being hit by lighting, and try to find a shelter to protect you from the rain. But keep reading for more details.

Climbing Lagazuoi Kaiserjäger Ferrata from Passo Falzarego

Kaiserjäger ferrata (Kaiserjägersteig, Kaiserjäger path) is an easy ferrata tour in an area with incredible history. The route is named after the Austrian soldiers regiment who built it and fought against the Italians on Mt. Lagazuoi, during the First World War. You can climb it either by starting from Falzarego pass or Valparola pass. Plan up to two hours for ascent.

Monte Pelmo Summer Climbing Through Snow and Clouds

If you plan to climb Monte Pelmo by following the normal route from Passo Staulanza, you will need at least 7 hours to the summit. Note that Ball Ledge (Cengia di Ball) is a part of the route, so this is not an ordinary mountaineering walk-up tour.

Add at least 5 hours more for descent, and you realize this is a long and hard day tour. But rifugio Venezia is on the route, so you can stay there and make the summit day route shorter and easier.

Climbing Tofana di Mezzo by Ferrata Lamon

Assuming that you do not plan using the lift, you can get to Tofana di Mezzo summit from at least three sides by climbing one of its ferratas.

Ferrata Lamon is the easiest but it implies getting to the summit of Tofana di Dentro first. This makes it a very long and demanding tour. You are above 3000 meters of elevation all the time. However, you will have two summits on a single day, plus an incredible WWI bivouac will be on your way up.

Ferrata Possneker (Pößnecker, Pössnecker) is also known as ferrata Mesules, and this is the shortest route to Piz Selva (2941 m; 9649 ft). It has two separate cables sections, the first is at the very beginning and the second is directly under the summit.

You can make a round tour and from Piz Selva continue to Piz Gralba (2972 m; 9751 ft) and Piz Miara (2964 m; 9724 ft) before descending to Val Lasties. Here you will have the third ferrata section. After that you have to walk up back to Passo Sella.

Major attractions of the round tour are:

The ferrata Possneker itself.
Spectacular views of Piz Boe group.
Cascata Schiavaneis.
Each of these attractions are worth seeing for themselves, and here you have them all three on this incredible tour.

What Is Paralpinism?

Did you know that majority of mountaineering accidents happen during the descent? One way to cut out this risk would be to paraglide. But is it safe?

So this is about paralpinism. In short, this is an activity that combines classic alpinism or mountaineering, and paragliding. In other words, you climb a mountain in the usual way, but instead of a classic descend, you paraglide from the summit.

This is a growing activity in which you use a sail to descend from the peaks, and it is clearly becoming popular among younger mountaineers. ,
