It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountaineering. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparing for the route through endurance training, appropriate technical training and further education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
