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

Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and to not disturb wildlife.

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

Carry sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even on cloudy days.

Plan your hike carefully: consider 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 case of unstable weather.

Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide. 

Observe warning signs indicating dangers. 

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

Pay attention to the opening times of the mountain railways.
