When choosing a route, make sure it matches your mountaineering experience and physical fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore, always set out with the appropriate gear (e.g., rain gear).
Check whether the huts and snack bars you plan to visit along the way are open. Let someone know your route and your planned return time before you set out.
Cross-border hiking trail: Remember to bring a passport or ID card!
