In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. 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.

Enjoy the incredible panoramic view of the Dachstein massif.
