Safety guidelines

The use of hiking trails is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG denies 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 signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Be considerate towards other trail users. Take your waste and that of others with you.

Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unsettled weather, it is better to turn back early.

Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, even on cloudy days.

Plan your trip carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather. The summer report  provides valuable information from the region in this regard.
