You’ll need a sleeping bag rated for cold temperatures (at least -15°C) to withstand the freezing nights. Consider models like the Marmot Trestles or The North Face Snow Leopard for optimal warmth and comfort.

Other Essential Gear and Accessories

Trekking Poles

Trekking poles help reduce the impact on your knees and improve stability on uneven terrain. Lightweight, adjustable poles from Black Diamond or Leki are ideal.

Whether you need to find your way to the bathroom at night or read in your tent, a good headlamp is essential. The Petzl Tikka is a popular choice, but remember to bring extra batteries.
