Weather, pulse, emergencies: If you are planning a mountain tour, you should consider a lot to get back to the bottom. The Current issue of the health magazine “Pharmacies Umschau” shows an overview of what you need to consider:
Adjust requirements for everyone! The following applies: The requirements of the tour must be oriented to the weakest. Does anyone have a previous illness that could become a problem on the way beforehand!
Attention, old snow! Also in the summer months there is a shadow side and where the sun does not seem to shine, old snow. If you slip out, you can turn into life -threatening slide.
Consider pulse: The approximate feel -good pulse during the tour is around 180 minus age. Obtain medical advice for previous illnesses before the tour.
Assess time requirements: Do not overestimate yourself and your conditional skills. Plan enough time buffers, especially if you are rarely traveling in the mountains.
Prepare for the emergency: Always take a small first aid set with you. If your group cannot continue the tour: make an emergency call. The free EU-SOS app is helpful for emergencies.
