Safety guidelines

Please observe the following points on the winter hiking trails:

  • Stay on the marked routes
  • Allow enough time and monitor the weather
  • Behave quietly; there is even the possibility of seeing wildlife; observe animals from a respectful distance
  • Your dogs are also allowed to do winter sports with us, but must be kept on a leash

  • Please take your rubbish home with your beautiful memories.

If nature sports enthusiasts respect the space of wildlife, fewer bans and restrictions are needed and the natural landscape remains open for genuine nature experiences. We ask for careful consideration and thank you!
