Information on all buses: Schladming-Dachstein bus timetablesSudden changes in weather, rapid drops in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog, and snowfields are objective hazards and require correct behavior on the trail. Hut keepers are experienced mountain experts; they can provide valuable tips regarding the weather and the route. Inadequate equipment, overestimating one's abilities, recklessness, poor physical condition, and misjudgment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: strictly avoid peaks, ridges, and fixed rope sections.
GPS data and orientation aids
Available GPS data – much like hiking maps – are only an orientation aid, as they can never provide an exact representation or the level of detail of a trail in reality. Especially at dangerous spots, the final decision on whether and how to proceed must always be made based on the actual conditions on-site.
In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:
- 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
- 112 - European emergency number GSM emergency service
