Photography

Bring your camera for your Alpine Guides trip, you'll experience some incredible places. Remember you will have to carry your camera equipment, as well as your other gear. The more compact your camera is, the better.

With SLR cameras it is a good idea to equip each lens with a filter and a hood.

Battery life can be reduced for digital cameras in cold conditions.

There are no power sockets in the mountain huts. Ensure you have sufficient battery charge/supplies for your camera - or bring your own solar charger.
