Small producers and village stalls may not accept cards; carry modest local currency for crafts and snacks.
Respect springs and private land
Many water sources sit on or near working farms—avoid bathing or littering and stay on marked paths to protect fragile areas.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide traction on dirt and gravel trails and protect feet from roots and uneven ground.
Daypack with water bottle
Carry water, snacks, layers and any market purchases for the day.
Light insulated jacket or fleece
Morning lakeside temperatures can be cool; a layer keeps you comfortable until the sun warms the valley.
