In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided. Your equipment should ideally include: - Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection. - A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers. - A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed - Sun protection - Cell phone - First aid kit - Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance. read more Actually not a tip but a request: For a good cooperation and the preservation of the trail track please keep to the outer edge of the trail.
