The indicated trails are to be considered safe only under normal weather conditions and are not monitored.

Since sudden changes in weather conditions may reduce the safety level, it is also suggested to bring always with you an emergency kit (personal locator beacon, shovel etc).

It is always necessary to wear suitable clothes and shoes for the mountains and season. In winter snowshoes might be helpful.
