Safety information

To undertake a mountain hike we suggest:

  • choose a route suited to your preparation. If in doubt, contact the Mountain Guides or our Information Offices
  • prepare your hike: check the weather forecast, the route you will follow, and the operating times of lift facilities if your itinerary involves their use. Remember that the passability of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, get well informed about the route and its conditions before setting off
  • leave information about your itinerary, your approximate return time, and carry a mobile phone
  • pay attention to the signs and markings along the route: Stelvio Park signs, white and red SAT signs, and red and white brushstrokes on stones or trees
  • book in advance the mountain hut or refuge where you plan to eat or sleep
  • never leave rubbish in the mountains and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the huts or alpine farms you visit
  • if you spot wild animals along the route, please stay on the path, do not approach too closely, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing and frightening them
