Safety precautions before the hike

Make sure you have a reliable means of communication, such as a mobile phone to ask for help in case of need. Therefore, make sure that your phone operator has good coverage.

Also, inform someone, friends or family, about your itinerary and expected return time, so they can call you to make sure everything went well or alert the authorities in case of an emergency. If you spend the night in accommodation facilities, inform the owners.
