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 foot. To ensure that 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. Accurately assess your own abilities and fitness. Traveling the different routes is always at your own risk.

For all hikes:

• Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking route 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.
• Behave considerately towards other trail users, plants, and animals.

For mountain hikes:

• Carry additional sunscreen. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, even in cloudy weather.
• Plan your hike carefully: Consider the necessary fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.
• Weather conditions in the mountains can change rapidly and without warning. Proper clothing and sufficient supplies (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 hiking alone.
• Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Observe warning signs that indicate dangers at riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: Water levels can rise rapidly and without warning.
