Use of the 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 signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect the livestock, and to avoid disturbing the wildlife.

Be considerate of other trail users and the landscape. Take your rubbish and other people's rubbish with you.

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

Plan your hike carefully: take into account the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.

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 bad weather.

Do not go on glaciers without a mountain guide.

Observe warning signals indicating dangers.

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

Pay attention to the opening times of the mountain railways.
