checklist · what to pack
Into your pack for 2,063 m
The list depends on the format of your hike. For a day trip — a light pack and the basic kit. For an overnight, add a tent, a sleeping bag and a bigger pack.
For a day hike
Up and back in one day. A 15–30 L pack is enough — no tent, no heavy camp gear.
8 / 12 packed
Overnight (2-day hike)
Spending a night at the camp on the cornice. A 50–70 L pack, tent and sleeping bag included.
11 / 19 packed
by the way
The cornice (2,063 m) is colder and windier than the valley — check the forecast before you set off, especially in October, when nights drop to −5 °C.
