Safety information
Use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause route changes. Grächen and St. Niklaus Tourism and Trades assume no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
For all hikes:
- Carry a map. 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 signposts and instructions—to protect your safety, grazing animals, and respect wildlife.
- Close gates after passing through.
- Behave considerately towards other trail users, plants, and animals.
For mountain hikes:
- Carry additional sunscreen. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, even in overcast weather.
- Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.
- Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In bad weather, it is better to turn back early.
For high alpine hikes:
- Inform your family about your hiking route. If possible, avoid going alone.
- Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
- Observe warning signs indicating dangers on riverbanks, along waterways below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
