Plateau hiking tour Planneralm

Data:

Important Information

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.
