Before you go
Check the trail after rain: mud and loose rock change a route. Helmet always, brakes checked before descending, and lights if you might run late. Give way to walkers and to riders climbing.
There is not always phone coverage in the mountains: download the map before you go, tell someone your plan and call 112 in any emergency. These data come from OpenStreetMap and the weather forecast; confirm with the resort and official sources.
