Safety guidelines:It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountaineering. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation through endurance sports, suitable technical training and further education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
Equipment:Personal mountaineering equipment must be safe, functional, and meet the respective technical standard. Every hiker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes in alpine specialist literature or locally.
