Demanding mountain tour partly in alpine pasture terrain

Avoid time pressure and choose the speed so that no one in the group gets out of breath.

Falls, as a result of slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too fast a pace or fatigue will severely affect your surefootedness and concentration.

Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve surefootedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and light weight.

Adapt your equipment to your hike and make sure your backpack is lightweight. Nevertheless, rain, cold and sun protection always belong in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency call 112). Map or GPS support the orientation.

Take special care in bad weather!

Public transportation not possible.
