Equipment

It should be noted that mountaineering carries an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful tour planning, a basic risk always remains. Tour preparation through endurance training, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal caution reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails. Personal mountaineering equipment must be safe, functional and meet the respective technical standards. Every hiker is recommended to inform themselves about the planned routes in alpine specialist literature or on site.
