If you encounter a bear or hear bear noises, you must immediately leave the area and evacuate to a safe location.

The following actions are strictly prohibited:

• Approaching the bear

For your information, a bear bell is one of the mandatory gears required to participate in KAGA SPA by UTMB.

For your own safety, please carry an appropriate bear bell and keep it in a condition where it can make sound at any time. (We kindly ask you to mute it when passing through residential areas.)
