Proper behavior in the mountains

Careful tour planning based on descriptions and hiking maps is essential for the success of a mountain tour. Equally important is to correctly assess the mountain experience, fitness, surefootedness, fear of heights, and resilience of all participants. Never leave marked hiking trails and avoid shortcuts. Inform yourself about the weather conditions before the hike and return to the valley if the weather deteriorates. The mountains are for everyone. Helping to maintain and keep them clean is every hiker's duty. Take your rubbish with you and protect the animal and plant life. Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a pasture animal is foreseeable, immediately unleash the dog. Austrian farmers make an important contribution to preserving our alpine landscape. Visitors are asked to respectfully adapt to this beautiful landscape. Treat the people working here, nature, and animals with respect. Encounter the people working here, nature, and animals with respect.
