Doing a test strongly reduces the probability of participants coming to the mountains as asymptomatic carriers. It makes it a lot safer for all the participants and staff in the team.

Each member of the group (participants/leaders/ clients & staff) wears protective masks while interacting with each other. Do carry a few unused, disposable masks.
It is strongly recommended to wear caps, full sleeves shirts and full trousers and shoes for adventure activities. It reduces exposure of your body parts.

It is mandatory that a participant informs the organisers if he tests positive for Covid within 14 days of returning from adventure activity.
