Summer excursions: what you need for a mountain excursion in summer

Summer excursions: all the material you need for your summer excursions between May and September

In order to participate in an excursion between Norcia and the Sibillini Mountains, in the hottest period, unless otherwise specified, I recommend bringing the following equipment:

  • ESSENTIAL: trekking shoes (low outdoor shoes with a specific sole for trekking are often fine, such as the Adidas Terrex) but a trekking boot (see for example the LA SPORTIVA models) is always more suitable, especially with higher ankle coverage.
  • wind/rain jacket, the days are always unpredictable
  • 1 supply of water of at least 1 litre
  • for the sun: sunglasses and hat and sun cream
  • snack (essential for all activities that last more than 3 hours): a pack of dried fruit could be perfect (it does not perish in the heat or cold)
  • spare t-shirt
  • a spare pair of socks

In many activities I recommend also bringing:

  • long trousers (to avoid insects and thorns during the walk)
  • trekking poles to help you and train your arms as well as possible
  • sweatshirt and thermal band for the cold (if you go up to high altitude or for night excursions, gloves are also recommended for excursions at dawn, even in August)
