Warm hat (beanie)
Lows reach 46°F and wind gusts to 16 km/h, so a warm hat blocks heat loss from your head.
Sunscreen SPF 50
At UV index 6.0 and 17.1 hours of daylight, unprotected skin burns in under two hours.
Polarized sunglasses
Glare off water and snow reflects UV rays that sunglasses alone won't stop.
Tick remover
Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.
Travel first aid kit
Remote mountain terrain means help takes hours, not minutes.
Plug adapter for C or F
This country runs on Type C or F. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.
