Safety information
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a completely beautiful and safe experience. Please therefore note the following:
Preparation
Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your mountain experience and fitness. Inform yourself about the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly fast. Therefore, always start out properly equipped (e.g. rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit along the way are open. Inform someone about your choice of route and your planned return before you set off.
