Assess your own abilities and fitness 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 "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 path users, plants, and animals.

For mountain hikes: 

• Carry additional sun protection. UV rays in 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.
• Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unsettled weather, it is better to turn back early.

For high alpine hikes:

• Inform your family about your hiking route. If possible, avoid being alone on the trail.
• Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Observe warning signals indicating danger on riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
