Security
Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.
- Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway.
- Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs.
- Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas
- You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.
Equipment
- Always important: snowshoes, winter mountain boots or sturdy mountain boots as well as telescopic poles with snow plates
- In addition to food and warm drinks, pack spare clothing and a first aid kit in your backpack
- Choose your clothing according to the onion layer system
- An avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel are, as in ski touring, required in alpine terrain
- Use a backpack to which you can attach your snowshoes
- You should also pack maps and/or tour descriptions. GPX tracks on your cell phone or GPS device will also help you
- Rental of snowshoes, poles and safety equipment at Sport Scherz and Sport Schöttl
