Sudden changes in weather, rapid drops in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog, and snowfields are objective hazards and require correct behavior on the trail. Hut keepers are experienced mountain experts; they can provide valuable tips regarding the weather and the route. Inadequate equipment, overestimating one's abilities, recklessness, poor physical condition, and misjudgment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: strictly avoid peaks, ridges, and fixed rope sections.

GPS data and orientation aids

Available GPS data – much like hiking maps – are only an orientation aid, as they can never provide an exact representation or the level of detail of a trail in reality. Especially at dangerous spots, the final decision on whether 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:

140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
112 - European emergency number GSM emergency service

Hiking or trekking shoes with a good tread sole, jacket. The path is suitable for strollers.
