Use of hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause changes to the route. Grächen and St. Niklaus Tourism and Trade assume no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
For all hikes:
- Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large scale map by clicking "Print" at the top right of the page.
- Use only marked hiking trails and observe all signs and instructions – for your safety, to protect grazing animals, and out of respect for wildlife.
- Close gates again after passing through.
- Be considerate of other trail users, plants, and animals.
For mountain hikes:
- Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, even in cloudy weather.
- Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal factors.
- Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early.
For high alpine hikes:
- Inform your family about your hiking route. If possible, avoid traveling alone.
- Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
- Observe warning signs indicating dangers at riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
