Hiking rules

Hiking rules

  • Choose a tour which matches your abilities. Check its progress with a map or guidebook. Get informed about passability with the Mountain Rescue Service or updates on trail conditions.

  • Inform people of your tour plan and estimated return time. Keep to your planned route and time of return. In chalets and hotels register yourself in the tour book.

  • Start your tour in the morning -- and never go alone. Take strong footwear, a sweater and raincoat. Should the weather get worse, turn back in time.

  • During the tour, keep to marked trails. Don't move into unknown terrain, especially during descent. Don't throw stones, and don't take shortcuts through serpentines.

  • Stay out of summer snow-fields. If a trail above the tree-line is snow-covered and has not been marked safe, it is not considered a marked trail and may not be used.
