Geo773: Field Studies (Italy/Austria) - Items you should bring!

The field trip program includes many outdoor activities, therefore the following items should be included in your luggage:

Personal:

• rain gear
• hiking boots or a very good pair of hiking shoes
• personal hygiene items (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo etc.)
• a towel (bed sheets are provided in Bozen and Salzburg but towels are not), a sleep-sack for the Sameralm or Heinrich Hackel Hut.
• sufficient clothing for the trip (unless you want to do laundry). Remember that the weather can be very unpredictable. You can expect temperatures in Venice, Bozen, Salzburg and Werfenweng anywhere between 5 and 30 Celcius. Rain is also a possibility. At higher elevations, it may be colder, bring a fleece or equivalent.
• a hat (the sun is stronger at higher elevations)
• a day pack for use in the areas that we will be visiting
• any required medication

Activity Related:

• Your in-field exercises will require that you have something for writing notes and sketching. Pens and pencils will also prove useful!
• a digital camera or a camera with film
• Anything else you think you need (within reason).

Should you forget something --- our destinations are developed countries and you can probably purchase what you need.
