Equipment

It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountain sports. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation of routes through endurance training, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal prudence, reduce the risk of accidents and hazards. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on marked hiking trails. Personal mountain sports equipment must be safe and functional and meet the respective technical standard. Every hiker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes in alpine literature or locally.
