The use of hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may possibly cause changes to the route.

Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock and without disturbing the calm of wildlife.

Be considerate of other trail users and the landscape. Take your rubbish and rubbish of others with you.

Carry sun protection with you. UV radiation at high altitudes can be very intense, even in cloudy weather.

Plan your hike carefully: take into account the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts and seasonal dependencies.

Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in bad weather.

Do not go on glaciers without a mountain guide.

Observe warning signs indicating dangers.

Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never go alone.

Pay attention to the opening times of the mountain railways.
