Useful tips for preparing for a winter excursion

Perm Region in winter is a real paradise for travelers. Every tourist is sure to find something special for themselves here. The fresh frosty air, the endless expanses and the snow-covered taiga create an amazing atmosphere of tranquility and unity with nature.
Among the top winter hiking routes in the Kama region are trips to the Polyud and Vetlan stones, visits to the Stone Town and the Usvinsky Pillars, as well as climbing the Oslyanka and Shudya-Pendysh mountains. To enjoy all these beauties to the fullest, it is enough to follow simple recommendations.

  1. Check the weather forecast in advance. Do not focus only on the actual air temperature, pay attention to the indicator "Feels like ...". It allows you to estimate the temperature in combination with humidity.
  2. Dress in layers. Experienced tourists recommend wearing a fleece jumper or hoodie on thermal underwear. Choose trousers with a high waist that cover the lower back and do not restrict movement.  A membrane jacket or down jacket is perfect as outerwear. By the way, it is better to take them a size larger so that there is room for the two lower layers.
  3. Shoes should sit loosely, without impeding blood circulation in the feet. Give preference to shoes with flexible, fluted soles with waterproof uppers and thick insoles.
  4. If possible, choose a balaclava instead of a classic hat, and mittens covering your wrists instead of gloves. The scarf, ideal for long walks, is a dense knitted one that does not allow frosty air to pass through.
  5. Hot soft drinks are a wonderful and delicious way to maintain a normal body temperature in the cold. A thermos with your favorite herbal tea or hot aromatic coffee will warm you up and give you strength for a long time.
  6. Instead of a bag or bag, take a backpack with you. This way your hands will remain free, and everything you need for a hike will be safely packed.
  7. Do not forget about the frost protection cream for face and hands. Use a lip balm to protect against chapping, and bring special sunscreens and glasses with you in sunny weather.
  8. Move more, eat hearty and high-calorie meals.
  9. Before the tour, if possible, take a long training walk in the clothes in which you plan to leave. This way you can determine if you have made the right choice.
  10. Feel free to ask the travel agency for all the details of your future trip to avoid disappointment and unfulfilled expectations))
