ESC’APE (ACT, PRESERVE AND ENJOY)!

Remember to bring gloves and appropriate clothing for manual work. You will work on a steep site: it is imperative to have hiking shoes, if possible reinforced to prevent the risk of injury. In the mountains, despite the sunshine, the weather can be surprising and changes rapidly. For leisure activities as well as for the work site, it is necessary to bring clothes adapted to the mountain (fleece, shorts and hiking pants, anorak, down jacket, warm socks...). Don't forget your sun protection (hat or cap is essential, sunglasses with high protection because of the intense reverberation, sun cream with a high protection factor IP30-50...) and a swimsuit for water activities. For the accommodation, don’t forget to pack a warm sleeping bag (comfort 10°C) because the nights can be very cold and wet. You should also bring a backpack (in addition to your luggage) as well as comfortable sneakers for the living area. It will also be useful to bring these essential accessories: a cell phone charger, walking poles (not mandatory but recommended), a water bottle, a set of bandages, a headlamp or flashlight. Collective break-hours will be scheduled with our leaders and according to your desires. If you wish to share your culture (recipes, traditional stories, music...), do not hesitate to take a little piece of your country/region in your backpack.
