In the valleys it is possible for daytime temperatures to rise to over 25C. At night, especially at the highest campsites, it will be cooler and frosts are likely. Rain and summer storms and snowfall on the passes could be encountered at any time. Good waterproofs and warm clothes are necessary. If you are already a hiker or backpacker you will probably have much of the clothing and equipment required. A ski-stick can be useful.
Major items are good, water-proof walking boots and a three season sleeping bag and mat.
