Equipment

Taking a mountain guide with you is highly recommended! 

This tour is only possible in the best environmental conditions (avalanche warning 1 or 2). 

Read the avalanche report at www.lawine-steiermark.at.

All information has been collected with the utmost care. The use of this information is exclusively at your own risk and at your own risk, therefore you are solely responsible.

Therefore, no liability is assumed for any accidents or damages of any kind.

To go on a tour without proper preparation and equipment is reckless. Not only your own life is easily risked, but also that of your fellow mountaineers in the same region.

Must-haves: avalanche transceiver, mobile phone, shovel, avalanche probe, first aid kit, sufficient food and drinks, possibly additional clothing to change.

On the day of the tour: Read the avalanche situation report and weather forecast and check what effects it will have on your planned ski tour: possibly adjust or cancel the ski tour. Are all participants fit and healthy enough to go on the tour? If not, change or cancel the ski tour.

  • Safety equipment (shovel, probe, avalanche transceiver)
  • ABS-backpack recommended
  • Via-Ferrata equipment for access via the Austriascharte (Rosmariestollen/Walchersteig)
