Self-assessment: Check your physical fitness before every mountain route and assess your strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Surefootedness and freedom from dizziness are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain route carefully beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut keepers can be helpful.

Equipment: In the mountains, you need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are indispensable; weather can often change unexpectedly.

Weather forecasts: Observe current weather conditions at: zamg.ator www.uwz.at.

Togetherness: Observe the 10 Rules for proper interaction with grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!

Do not kick stones: Do not kick stones, as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked sections with rockfall hazard should be crossed as quickly as possible with attention and caution.

Turn back in time: This is no shame, but a sign of wisdom. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog descends, or if the trail is too difficult or not in good condition.

Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144
