General tips:
The most important thing on a hiking tour is that you are able to judge yourself well and prepare for the tour in advance. Let your host know which tour you want to go on. In addition, it is always important to find out in advance about the opening times of the mountain huts and the weather and, if there is a risk of thunderstorms, to cut the tour short and hike back down into the valley. If an overnight stay in a mountain hut is planned, we recommend that you book your sleeping place in advance. Please do not kick stones and stay on the marked paths. If you are unsure about a tour, please ask in person or by telephone at the Tourist Information Centre.
We will be happy to help you at any time.
