Visitor tips

  1. 1

    Allow about 120 minutes for the core visit and add margin for traffic, parking, worship, security checks, mountain weather or guide arrangements.

  2. 2

    Check same-week opening, restoration, religious services, local events, fire restrictions, snow, water levels and road conditions.

  3. 3

    Carry suitable footwear, water and sun protection; remote routes also need offline navigation and an emergency plan.

  4. 4

    Respect active worship, memorials, village homes, protected nature, private land and any photography restrictions.
