Sure-footedness and a good head for heights are a must as well as prior alpine experience and good hiking equipment. Trail signs are yellow with a black dot.

Alpine Trails are very difficult. They wind their way through high alpine terrain, are exposed and have climbing passages without any steel cables to hold on to. Due to the terrain, Alpine trails are for very sure-footed hikers only. The trails are not maintained and signs are only sporadic. An excellent sense of orientation, some climbing skills and prior alpine mountaineering experience are required. Trails are marked as STEIG.
