Sudden changes in weather, rapid drops in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog, and snowfields are objective hazards and require correct behavior while on the move.

Lack of equipment, overestimating one's abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition, and incorrect assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: strictly avoid peaks, ridges, and fixed rope sections.

GPS data and orientation aids: Available GPS data – like hiking maps – are only an orientation aid, as they can never provide an exact image or the level of detail of a path in reality. Especially at danger spots, the final decision on if and how to proceed must always be made based on the actual conditions on-site.

In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:
Number 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
Number 112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency service

Take rainproof and warm clothing and enough water, possibly also a snack, and wear shoes with non-slip tread soles. A first aid kit should also be in your backpack.
