Endless freedom, adventure and summit thrills.
Mountains and nature as far as the eye can see.
Peace and excitement all in one.
That is the Spirit of Mountain Sports.
We here at VAUDE are passionate about mountain sports. This passion can be
found in every single one of our VAUDE products.
As a modern family business we take our social and environmental responsibility
very seriously: we have been a bluesign member since 2008, one of the most strin-
gent ecological standards in the world. And as the irst European outdoor out-
itter we are also constantly improving our environmental performance through
EMAS certiication, the EU's eco-management and audit scheme.
So hope to see you soon up in the mountains...

CHOOSIng YOUR SITE:
• Pitch your tent on level ground, in an area protected from wind and not in
a hollow, where water can quickly collect when it rains.
• Take into account wind direction when pitching your tent – face the ent-
rance downwind and sheltered if possible.
• Take into account that camping near water sources could lead to conden-
sation build up on your tent and belongings.
• Don't pitch your tent in dangerous places. This includes gorges, under-
neath clifs or rocks, near glacier-fed rivers, in forests or near ire spots.
• Remove all pointy or sharp objects that could damage the tent loor.
• Use a tent footprint or groundsheet to protect the tent loor.
• If you are planning on camping in one spot for a longer period of time,
make sure to pitch in shade or half shade – UV radiation accelerates the
aging process of tent fabrics and coatings.
• When camping on snow and in freezing conditions, dig a pit in front of the
tent door or in the vestibule in which cold air can collect.
