Winter sports report

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

• Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking trail including a large-scale map by clicking "Print" at the top right of the page.
• Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and without disturbing the peace of wildlife.
• Be considerate towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your trash and others' trash with you.
• Carry additional sunscreen. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, especially in winter, even with overcast skies.
• Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal factors.
• Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In uncertain weather, turn back early.
• Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Observe warning signals indicating danger, especially avalanche danger.
• Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never hike alone.

Note(s)
Due to altitude and trail routing, good footwear is absolutely essential for this winter hike.
