Use of the trails and the information on this website is at hikers’ own risk. Local conditions may entail changes to routes. 

Use marked trails only, and observe all signposting – for your own safety, to safeguard grazing animals and to avoid disturbing wildlife.

Please be considerate to other trail users, and to the plants and animals. Do not leave any waste in nature. 

Take extra care protecting yourself from the sun at altitude. UV radiation can be exceptionally strong, even in cloudy weather. 

Plan hike carefully: take into consideration fitness level of each participant, weather forecast and season. 

Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, without warning. Appropriate clothing is therefore essential, along with adequate supplies of food and water. In uncertain weather, turn back in good time. 

Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. 

Take note of the warning signs that point out the constant danger, especially the danger of avalanches. 

Inform others of planned route, and whenever possible, avoid going alone. 

Pay attention to the opening hours of the cable cars.
