Preparation

Make sure, when choosing a route, that it matches your experience and fitness. Check the weather forecast beforehand. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly and rapidly. Therefore, always set out equipped accordingly (e.g., rain protection).

Check if the huts and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return before you leave.
