This hike is subject to a few criteria - read the full description before joining the event please. :)

In case you cannot join the hike, drop out more than 24h before the start.

Sponsored by Arc'teryx

• Each participant will receive one goodie (shirt / beanie / gloves). Please wear your goodie during the hike for the photos. If you already have participated to a sponsored hike, please wear the item you received (you won't get another one).
• For most of the participants, a (very good) goretex jacket will be provided for the day and you'll be ask to wear it. This jacket can be kept for a month or two if you wish.
• Everyone can join as long as you have the fitness level for such a hike and haven't done a Arc'teryx hike in the last 6 months. You can join if 1/ you have done at least 1 hike with Hiking Buddies and 2/ if you haven't joined a previous Arc'teryx hike. If there's a lack of participants, I'll remove those conditions on Wednesday.
• Arc'teryx will cover the transportation cost for the drivers.

General information

Weather: Sunny in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon.

Route: T2, but snow will make it more exhausting. The hike will be led by Willa, I will take the pictures for Arc'teryx.

Pace / fitness level: Always hard to describe the pace! Let's say you need to have a good cardio to enjoy the hike. :) We'll have some breaks to take nice shots for Arc'teryx.

Transportation: If by car, fuel is covered by Arc'Teryx (refund for drivers will take 1 to 2 months). You're free to join by public transports, there's a connection from Zürich to reach the parking on time.

Schedule (approx.)

• 08h50: We meet at Parkplatz Iberegg Passhöhe, and take a few minutes to sort the goodies & jackets out.
• 12h30: Roggenstock + 30 mn lunch break
• 13h00: Start going down.
• 16h00: Parking

Do not plan anything right after a hike as we might come back much later than expected if something unexpected happens.

Gear

Mandatory: SPIKES Waterproof hiking boots (or trail running shoes) with a good grip, at least 2L of water, food.

Good to have: Sun screen, sun glasses, hiking poles.

I do not think snowshoes are required, but you may bring a pair if you have some.

See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes.
