Safety guidelines
Use of the winter hiking trail is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG assumes no liability and takes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself beforehand about the current conditions (avalanche danger, cross-country trails, winter hiking paths, snowshoe trails, as well as road conditions) and weather conditions. The Winter Sports Report provides valuable information regarding this region.
Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the hiking path with a large-scale map. Use only marked trails and observe all signs and notices—for your own safety, to protect the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users. Take your waste and other people's waste with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Proper 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 high altitudes can be particularly strong in winter, even under overcast skies.
