Behaviour in the mountains

Please attend to good mountain boots and suitable mountain clothes as well as to rain and sun protection. An absolute must is also an up-to-date hiking map. 

Expect of your body only what it is able to perform. And inform your hotelier about your goal destination and the expected return time! If you are doing a climbing tour and for inexperienced hikers, the accompaniment of a mountain guide is necessary. 

Pay attention to the gates of  feedlots - they have to be closed after usage. Please keep off uncutted grass.

The alpine emergency signal is done six times, with short breaks with acoustic or visual signal.  During the day with shouting or signal pipe, in darkness for example with a flashlight. The signal should be used only in emergency cases!!!
