IMPORTANT INFORMATION · Suitable equipment, clothing and winter footwear are essential (sticks, traction cleats or spikes and sun protection are recommended, depending on the weather). · Remain on the tagged hiking tracks.

No hiking on cross country skiing trails. · Check out the weather forecast before starting a hike. · Access to the winter hiking trails is at your own risk, and no liability will be assumed for any accidents or damage. · Put your dog on a leash and avoid sensitive winter habitats of wild animals. · Please do not leave rubbish. Due to the climatic conditions, decomposition processes in our mountain landscape are slower, and some waste is not going to be decomposed at all. In addition, people and animals can be injured by littered objects. · Please note that, in the case of heavy snowfall or considerable temperature fluctuations, care and maintenance of the trails is difficult and the grooming or reparation cannot be immediately guaranteed at the same time. · For information about parking facilities, starting points, possibility of return by public transport and refreshment stops you can ask at the tourist offices. · Bus timetables: www.seiseralm.it/bus WARNING: Please ensure that you have suitable safety equipment when snow-shoe hiking in open Alpine terrain and that you are well-aware of the hazards in wintertime and the location of the trails.

Sledging at your own risk!
