Safety guidelines
Ski touring routes are not marked and prepared. Use at your own risk. Please observe the following behavior rules on the ski tour.
Healthy and fit in the mountains
Good fitness through regular endurance and strength training. Pay attention to energy reserves for the descent.
Careful tour planning
Special attention should be given to the weather report, as cold, wind, and poor visibility greatly increase the risk of accidents. Plan alternative routes and checkpoints.
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.
Avalanche bulletin
Inform yourself thoroughly about avalanche danger before the tour! What is the danger level, where are the danger spots, what are the current avalanche problems?
Weigh avalanche risk
Base your decisions on strategic risk assessment methods and watch for danger signs on the terrain.
Orientation and breaks
It is important to be skilled in using map, altimeter, compass, app, or GPS. Drinking, eating, and breaks are necessary to maintain performance and concentration.
Maintain distances
Distances serve to relieve the snowpack and limit damage. Relief distances of 10 m when climbing steep slopes also increase comfort during switchbacks. During the descent always keep distances of at least 30 m and ski very steep slopes alone.
Avoid falls
Falls during descent are the most common cause of accidents on ski tours. They impose a great additional burden on the snowpack.
Small groups
Small groups (up to 6 people) increase safety. Communication with other winter sports enthusiasts and mutual consideration prevent dangerous situations.
Respect for nature and environment
Take care of wildlife, respect protected areas, and do not enter reforestation areas. Form car pools for travel or use public transport.
