Useful Information for Your Stay in the Mountains
- Prior to every tour, it must be ensured that all climbers are sufficiently experienced and physically fit enough to undertake the expedition. Mountain-climbing requires sure-footedness and a lack of vertigo.
- The proper equipment and clothing is likewise essential. In particular sturdy, ankle-high boots with rugged treads on the soles are recommended. Because the weather in the mountains can change very quickly, rain gear and warm clothing are also important.
- Do not leave marked trails.
- The pace of the ascent must reflect the physical fitness of the entire party. Ascending too rapidly at the beginning of a tour usually results in premature exhaustion.
- It is essential that one avoid dislodging rocks and possibly causing avalanches since other hikers may be endangered.
- If the weather takes a turn for the worse, if it becomes foggy, if the terrain becomes difficult or even impassable, you should return to base. This is a sign of wisdom and nothing to be ashamed about.
