Safety information
Adjust your speed!
- Always ride defensively and only as fast as you can stop in time for obstacles or avoid oncoming traffic. Always be attentive. Cool are those who ride slowly past pedestrians and hikers.
- Proper self-assessment!
- Do not overstrain yourself and your companions. Plan reserves. A defect before the last mountain or bad weather drains stamina and morale.
- Start early!
- Especially in early and late season, make sure to reach your daily goal well before darkness and plan reserves.
- Bad weather in the mountains!
- If bad weather approaches, quickly leave higher elevations (descend or turn back)! With the bike, you can quickly reach the starting point or the valley again. Consider the possibility of snowfall. Impassable sections! If obstacles appear on the route (snow, mudslide, windthrow, etc.), make sure you can get through safely. Never leave the marked path! Turn back early enough if you do not feel safe!

After about 2 km turn left (signposted: Lading/Saualpe). After about 500 m at the fork in the road, go straight towards Lading/Saualpe.

Equipment
- If you have a brain, protect it! The helmet is a matter of course when mountain biking.
- Proper clothing!
- Even in summer, especially in early and late season, carry warm clothing and a spare jersey. In higher altitudes, bad weather without rain protection is uncomfortable.
- Carry emergency equipment!
- First aid kit, bike repair set (spare tube, pump, tools), map, mobile phone, and possibly GPS are always with you (Attention: In the mountains, reception is not guaranteed everywhere).
- Drink constantly & eat in good time!
- Drink enough and plan a stop in good time. A hunger break in the middle of nowhere is tough.
