The hiking equipment for winter in Romania is something really important to consider. Winters here can be really hard, with deep snow (1 m or 2 m or more), icy trails, very low temperatures (the minimum can be – 30 celsius).

The list for required equipment is:

• good winter boots
• very warm winterpants
• thermals
• gloves and extra gloves
• very warm socks
• windtopper jacket
• winter jacket
• something to cover your head during the night
• hiking sticks
• ice axe (depending on the route)
• crampons
• snow shoes (if you go on a snow shoeing tour)
• sun block and sun glasses
• tea recipient (hot tea is better than water)
