The use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Local conditions may cause changes to the route. Valais/Wallis Promotion assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website. Assess your own skills and fitness level well. Use of the various routes is always at your own responsibility.

For all hikes:

• Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map by clicking «Print» at the top right of the page.
• Use only marked hiking trails and observe all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect grazing animals, and out of respect for wildlife.
• Close gates after passing through.
• Be considerate of other trail users, plants, and animals.  

For mountain hikes: 

• Carry additional sunscreen. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather.
• Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.
• Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early.

For high alpine hikes:

• Inform your family about your hiking route. If possible, avoid traveling alone.
• Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Observe warning signs indicating dangers at riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
