First of all, you will have to be careful about the risks of avalanche and will need to check the status of the trail before you start. Weather can also change very unexpectedly, so make sure to pack for all possibilities. Never go alone – it is recommended to go with a local guide so he can ensure your safety and make you aware about the hazards coming your way.
