Bring a map. Download the full route description with a large-scale map by clicking the "print" icon at the top right of the page. Only take marked paths and observe all signs — for your safety, for livestock protection, and not to disturb wildlife. Be respectful of other users, plants, and animals. Do not litter in nature. Take special care to protect yourself from the sun at altitude. UV rays can be very strong, even on cloudy days. Plan your hike carefully: consider the physical level of each participant, weather forecasts, and the season. Weather conditions can change quickly and unexpectedly in the mountains. It is essential to have suitable clothing and sufficient food and water reserves. In uncertain weather, turn back in time. Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Take note of constant danger warning signs, especially avalanche danger.

Inform your relatives about your route and, whenever possible, prefer hiking in groups.
