- The right tour planning and schedule: start the tour early enough and return before dark. In spring you should be back at the hut for lunch (avalanche danger).
- Short breaks in-between are necessary to maintain concentration and stamina
- Keep dogs always on a leash
- Don't throw away things and don't feed wild animals
- Pay attention to danger signs and avoid danger spots
- Groups should ascend one behind the other with a minimum distance of 10 meters in order to avoid heavy loads on the snow layer. While skiing downhill a distance of about 30 meters is strongly recommended.
- The most common cause of accidents: falling on downhill stretches. The right skiing technique and moderate speed according to the abilities and the snow conditions reduce this risk considerably.
- If you enjoy activities amid nature always respect the local guidelines when you set out on a ski tour (e.g. wildlife preserves, hunting enclosures, reforestation areas, information boards, etc.).
- Cross only approved routes and respect protected wildlife areas
- Don't enter feeding areas and avoid noise
- Observe wild animals only from a distance and avoid getting in close contact with animals whenever possible
