10 Tips for Safe Hiking

6. Be preparedYour friends or hotel

will only be able to help you out of an

emergency situation if you leave them a

detailed description of where you will be

hiking.

7. Stick to marked pathsNever stray from marked paths:

they guide you safely to your destination and should never be left.

8. Take regular breaksTake a break at least every two hours in order to replace lost

fluids. Non-carbonated beverages containing mineral salts are best. Healthy snacks such as apples or cereal bars provide

additional strength and energy.

1. Careful planningHikes and mountain tours demand careful planning and preparation. Information is available locally and in hiking maps and books.

2. Check fitness levels and experience

Before choosing which tour to follow, take into account the physical fitness and experience of every member of the group. Hikes in alpine terrain demand sure-footedness and an ability to handle heights well.

9. Respectful behaviourLitter-free mountains and

respect for flora and fauna are top priorities as you hike.

10. First aidIn emergencies, mobile phones can

save lives. The emergency number for mountain rescue services and to

call for medical assistance is 118.

3. Suitable equipmentAppropriate hiking equipment and clothing are crucial. In particular, these include sturdy shoes, rainwear, warm clothing and a first-aid kit.

4. Set an appropriate paceThe slowest member of the group should determine the pace of the hike.

5. Current weather situationGood weather is a prerequisite for any hike. For this reason, it is important that you consult the weather forecast prior to all tours and turn back in good time if the weather becomes inclement.

The Best Hikes to Alpine Farms

Witnesses to centuries of history and cultural changes, many of South

Tyrol’s mountain farms are built on extremely high and steep slopes.

Many are still in their original condition today – as are the idyllic

paths that were once the only links to the villages in the valley.

These hikes lead you through pastures and woodlands, past pictur-

esque farms and isolated hamlets, some of which have already gone

to ruin or been converted into alpine pastureland. Most of these farm-

steads are still in operation all year-round, despite very difficult

working and living conditions. The mountain refuges along the way

not only offer a taste of traditional South Tyrolean cuisine – but also

a chance to enjoy the local atmosphere of a wood-panelled Stube par-

lour or dark “smoking chambers”.
