Use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause changes to the route.

Only use marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and without disturbing wildlife.

Be considerate to other trail users and the landscape. Take your trash and others' trash with you.

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

Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal factors.

Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in bad weather.

Do not enter glaciers without a mountain guide.

Observe warning signs that indicate danger.

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

Pay attention to the opening hours of cable cars.
