Safety precaution tips for mountaineering in summer

Slovenian mountains are stunning. But what most people forget is that great views demand a well-prepared mountaineer with experience and knowledge and what is most important: appropriate equipment.

Safety precaution tips for mountaineering in summer

It is of great importance to be appropriately equipped when heading to high mountains. In the recent years, Slovenian mountains are gaining on popularity – no wonder, the views and lanscape are stunning – and this is why it is important to pinpoint that safety should come first. We can read about mountain accidents in the news, many of which could be well-prevented, if the mountaineers had been equipped properly. What many often rather overhear is the fact that mountains can turn into a very dangerous place – it is not uncommon at all to encounter vast snowfields even in late summer.

For this very reason, the Alpine Association of Slovenia has issued a leaflet with safety tips for summer mountaineering. In addition, an in-depth article entitled How to stay safe in the mountains in summer has also been written and put online. Make the best out of the trip to Slovenian Alps and act wisely. For proper preparation, read theleaflet with summer mountaineering safety tips.

Good preparation and planning are crucial for safety in the mountains and remember: “the top is only half way - our goal is to return safely!” Enjoy the views!
