Use of the trail paths 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. 

For all trails:

• Use only marked trail paths and follow all signposts and instructions - for your own safety, the protection of grazing animals, and respect for wildlife.
• Close gates after passing through.
• Behave considerately towards other path users, plants, and animals.   

For mountain trails: 

• Carry additional sunscreen. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather.
• Plan your trail 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 provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early. 
• Inform your family about your trail route. Avoid being alone if possible.
• Observe warning signals indicating dangers on riverbanks, along waterways below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
