Preparing for your hiking vacation in Fiss-Serfaus-Ladis
The right preparation and equipment for your hiking vacation in Tyrol
Summer.Active
Hiking is and remains the most popular sport in the Tyrolean mountains. But you don't just need to be in good physical condition to storm the summits. The right equipment and precise tour planning are also important so that you arrive back at the hotel in good health.
Good stamina and acclimatization.
The most important physical requirement for mountain tours is a solid basic level of endurance. Walking, cycling or jogging for 30 minutes three times a week four weeks before the vacation is ideal. Your heart, circulation and breathing should also be able to cope. It is generally advisable to increase the workload slowly so that the body can get used to the altitude. An acclimatization period of just 3 to 5 days at an altitude of 2,000 metres makes a big difference.
Catering for mountain hikers
The right diet is crucial for energy and stamina. Liquids, carbohydrates, fruit, bread or cereals provide energy. Do not eat too much before and during the hike so as not to impair the oxygen supply to the muscles. On average, you burn 300 to 400 calories per hour when hiking in the mountains.
Properly equipped for the ascent
Equipment is crucial. Hiking boots should be ankle-high, waterproof and big enough to prevent your toes from stubbing on the descent. Leather uppers with Goretex inserts, sturdy rubber tread soles and well-padded hiking socks prevent pressure points and blisters. The clothing follows the „onion principle“: underwear made of breathable blended fabric or sheep's wool wicks away sweat. Outerwear should be waterproof but vapor-permeable – robust, hard-wearing and flexible. A spare set belongs in every rucksack.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
You have only really been where you have walked.
Those who prepare, plan carefully and choose the right hiking equipment will experience the mountains of Fiss, Serfaus and Ladis in all their beauty. Fresh air, panoramic views and exercise in nature give you energy, joy and unforgettable memories. This makes every hiking vacation in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis a moment that will stay with you for a long time.
