(+ approx. 3km/about half an hour longer walking time)

Self-assessment: Before every mountain hike, check your physical fitness and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Surefootedness and being free from dizziness are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain hike 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 for this.

Equipment: On the mountain you need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high footwear with grippy soles. Weather and cold protection are essential; the weather can often change unexpectedly.

Weather forecasts: Pay attention to the current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at.

Togetherness: Observe the 10 rules for proper behavior with grazing animals and do not leave any rubbish in nature!

Do not dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones, as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with risk of rockfall should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.

Turn back in time: This is not a shame but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog sets in, or the path is too difficult or in poor condition.

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