Follow the signposting and stay on the route.

Ski tour routes are not marked or prepared. Proceed at your own risk. Please observe the following rules of conduct on the ski tour.

1. Healthy and fit for the mountains
   Good fitness through regular endurance and strength training. Pay attention to energy reserves for the descent.
2. Careful route planning
   Particular attention should be paid to the weather report, as cold, wind, and poor visibility greatly increase the risk of accidents. Plan alternative routes and checkpoints.
3. Complete equipment
   Standard emergency equipment includes avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe, first aid kit, bivy sack, mobile phone (European emergency number 112), and an airbag system.
4. Avalanche bulletin
   Inform yourself thoroughly about avalanche danger before the tour! How high is the danger level, where are the hazard areas, what are the current avalanche problems?
5. Weigh avalanche risk
   Base your decisions on strategic risk assessment methods (reduction methods) and pay attention to warning signs in the terrain.
6. Orientation and breaks
   It is important to master handling map, altimeter, compass, app, or GPS. Drinking, eating, and taking breaks are necessary to maintain performance and concentration.
7. Keep distances
   Distances serve to relieve the snowpack and limit damage. Relief distances of 10 m during ascent on steep slopes also increase comfort during switchbacks. During descent, always keep distances of at least 30 m and ski very steep slopes individually.
8. Avoid falls
   Falls during descent are the most common cause of accidents on ski tours. For the snowpack, they mean a significant additional burden.
9. Small groups
   Small groups (up to 6 people) increase safety. Communication with other winter sports participants and mutual consideration prevent dangerous situations.
10. Respect for nature and environment
    Respect wildlife, protected areas, and avoid entering reforestation areas. Use carpooling or public transport for travel.
