The following items are required for this Munich to Venice guided hiking tour unless otherwise noted. When packing, think layered clothing systems that work together and can be easily added or removed.

Your main luggage will be transferred on most of the nights—on those days, you’ll only be carrying a small daypack with necessary items you might need throughout the day. For the two nights you’ll be staying at huts—Days 7 & 8—you’ll have to carry your overnight belongings. Luggage access isn’t available on those nights. Luggage transfers have a limit of 33lbs/15kg—please stick to this as extra items are not easily stored by the team.

Avoid cotton or cycling-specific clothing. Synthetic fabrics dry quickly and perform well in active conditions. Merino wool is also an excellent option—it dries fast, is comfortable to wear, and naturally resists odors even after extended use.

Clothing:

• • Hiking boots/shoes — waterproof, sturdy molded sole, deep tread and ideally well broken in

  • Rain Gear — waterproof jacket and pants or high-quality poncho, breathable fabric such as Gore-Tex® or coated nylon (for the pants look for side zippers that will easily allow pulling them over footwear)
  • Casual clothing & footwear – comfortable clothes and shoes to wear in the evening after activities.

Gear:

  • Personal luggage — small duffel bag, rolling suitcase or backpack
