General Mountain Safety

The alpine world is a place of extremes in all aspects, hot, cold, windy and calm, crystal clear and foggy all in one afternoon. Because of this we recommend that all visitors to this wonderful part of the world come prepared for the worst possible conditions. 

Useful equipment includes:

  • Warm hat
  • Warm layers of clothing
  • Windproof/waterproof outer layer
  • Warm gloves or mittens
  • Protective eyewear (sunglasses or goggles)
  • Sunscreen
  • Sturdy boots, ski or snowboard boots 

For any assistance or advice on what equipment to bring or questions in general don’t hesitate to contact our friendly customer services department on (07) 892 3738 or email info@mtruapehu.com
