Safety information
General safety instructions:
All safety rules of mountaineering also apply when hiking!
Here is an overview in six points:
1. CAREFUL ROUTE PLANNING: Check weather forecast, terrain, equipment.
2. COMPLETE EQUIPMENT: Emergency equipment with mobile phone, first aid kit, bivvy bag, and ideally a headlamp is always with you on mountain hikes.
3. REALISTIC SELF-ASSESSMENT: Behind main causes of accidents is often overestimation. Therefore: gradually increase hikes, get to know your body and your abilities.
4. ORIENTATION: You should master the use of map and altimeter – being able to properly read a map is not a matter of course. Caution: a GPS device is a helpful assistant but not a substitute for a map!
5. BEFORE LEAVING: Inform someone where you plan to go and when you intend to return.
6. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS: Save emergency numbers in your phone: Alpine emergency is 140, European emergency is 112.
Disclaimer:
Tour at your own risk! No liability is assumed for any given or occurring alpine dangers (weather, etc.).
WINTER:
Important note: Before any ski tour or snowshoe hike, the current avalanche report should definitely be consulted - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at.
Mountaineering and assessment of the situation on site is especially in winter above all your own responsibility. Tourist boards or avalanche warning services therefore cannot assume any liability for the information provided.
