The mountains, a place of joy to share and respect. The mountain world is a place to meet and create unforgettable moments together – whether by bike or on foot. For all users to benefit, it is essential to share this space with respect towards nature and agriculture. Respectful behavior allows everyone to engage in their leisure activities under the best conditions. Inform yourself about recommendations and rules. Assess your own skills and fitness well. Using the various routes is fundamentally at your own risk.

For all hikes:

• Carry a map. 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 signs 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 sun protection. UV rays at high altitude 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 can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unsettled weather, turn back early.

For high alpine hikes:

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