Running safely
There are a few things to do to make your running experience a great one. In our alpine environment the weather can change quickly so be prepared with layers and water and tell others of your plans. If you’re running in low visibility, take a headlamp and wear bright clothing. If you’re exploring the peaks or remote areas, take a personal locator beacon (PLB) with you.
