Our tips for safe and fair behaviour in the mountains
In an emergency, every second counts
In the event of an accident, acting quickly and correctly is vital. The right equipment, such as good footwear, and regular first-aid refresher courses can save lives.
Careful planning of your mountain hike
Careful and thoughtful route planning helps to identify risks at an early stage. Route planning also involves accurately assessing your own fitness, checking the weather forecast and being prepared for sudden changes in the weather.
Recognising and correctly assessing weather hazards in the mountains
When out in the mountains, it is important to recognise weather hazards and assess them correctly. In alpine terrain, the weather can change very quickly. Warning signs include certain cloud formations and increasing wind.
Weather apps provide useful information on weather developments.
Staying safe together on Austria’s alpine pastures
Staying safe together on Austria's alpine pastures
The situation in Austria’s alpine pastures is tense, given the rising number of visitors, various dangerous online challenges and increasing littering in busy areas. Unfortunately, problematic situations between visitors to the alpine pastures and grazing animals occur time and again. It is our shared responsibility to make visitors aware of the rules of conduct and to ensure that alpine farming and leisure users can coexist harmoniously.
The Salzkammergut Mountain-Lake Trail
A unique long-distance trail from lake to lake.
High rulers such as Archduke Johann or Empress Elisabeth have wandered through it, researchers such as Friedrich Simony, poets and writers such as Nikolaus Lenau, painters such as Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, musicians and composers such as Johannes Brahms.
Did you ever think that you can not stop hiking in the Salzkammergut?
