The mountains, a place of joy to share and respect. The mountain world is a place to meet and experience unforgettable moments together – whether by bike or on foot. To ensure all users can benefit, it is essential to share this space with respect for nature and agriculture. Respectful behavior allows everyone to enjoy their leisure activities under the best conditions. Inform yourself about recommendations and rules. Assess your own skills and physical condition well. Using the various routes is generally at your own risk. 

For all hikes:

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

For mountain hikes: 

• Carry additional sun protection. 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 dependencies.
• The 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 going alone.
• Do not enter 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.
