Trekking for first time

When I hike in the winter I usually just use thermals and shorts because I don't mind my legs being cold. As long as you've got warm, dry footwear and keep your core warm you will be fine during your trek. At 0C I honestly think you could walk around bare-assed with boots, hat and jacket. When you aren't active, you might want something with more insulation though.

So if it was me, I'd say those are fine for a day trip, but anything overnight and I'd want at least some polarfleece pants and shell as well.

Thank you. I guess boots is a must, right?

Check out the long john silver thread anon.
Lots of good info in there.

It depends on the conditions. If you think there will be snow then I'd recommend it, although you might be able to get away with using trail runners. If you don't know exactly what you're in for I'd err on the side of caution because having cold feet sucks at best and can get you injured at worst.

Maybe this comes late but hope it helps

The lowest temps are in the night (between 3-5 am), when you'll be sleeping in your tent (or whatever).

You need to plan for a "cold" night, not during the actual hike, when you'll be moving thus keeping warm. At most during the day you'll need a windbraker and gloves, an some sort of head protection.

Check the weather prediction and at what altitude the 0° C isoterm is predicted to be. If it's higher than your 2.5k mountain, you will ne experiencing 0°C+ degrees inside your tent.

What's the elevation change you are going to experience?

If you are gonna pull a significant elevation change, then boots are pretty much required, and poles really help with going down hill. Make sure they are sized correctly and break them in.

The tights are handy for keeping warm when you are in camp or when you are asleep, I'd recommend them. When you are climbing you won't really need them.

You're not going to need those in 0c temperatures unless the wind chill factor is crazy low.
