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 signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect grazing animals and to avoid disturbing the wildlife. Be considerate of other trail users and the landscape. Take your trash and others' trash with you. Carry sun protection. UV rays can be very strong at high altitudes, even in cloudy weather. Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies. Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and enough provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it’s better to turn back early. Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Observe warning signs that indicate dangers. Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never go alone. Pay attention to the opening hours of the mountain railways.
