  • How many injured?
  • Where did the accident happen? (possibly GPS coordinates)
  • Who is reporting? (callback number)
  • When did the accident happen?
  • Weather at the accident site?
Sturdy footwear suitable for snow.

Proper backpacking makes many things easier:

  • pack heavy things first.
  • The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket.
  • All things that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map belong on top.
  • An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
Afterwards a bath/sauna in the Narzissen Vital Resort - what could be better?
