Good and reasonable footwear
Backpack (approx. 15-20l)
Enough provisions: drinks, preferably water in refillable drinking bottles, at least one meal and snacks like energy bars for in between, think also of a small plastic bag for waste!
Proper hiking clothing: avoid sweating too much and hypothermia, pack a light change of clothes if necessary, a jacket should never be missing and possibly rain gear (pay attention to weather forecast!)
Sun protection: sunscreen, sunglasses and headgear.
Cell phone (charged!) with emergency app, ID card, possibly alpine club ID and cash for the huts
