Safety guidelines

Use of the hiking trails is at your own risk. The Obergoms Tourism AG disclaims all liability and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.  Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map. Use only marked trails and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users. Take your rubbish and that of others with you. The weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early. Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at altitude can be very strong, even on cloudy days. Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself beforehand about the current conditions and weather. The summer report provides valuable information about this for the region.
