Mountain hiking in safety

Before setting off, consult the weather forecast. Do not set off in adverse weather conditions.

Never set off alone, and plan your trip appropriately.

Tell people where you are going and when you expect to return.

Wear suitable clothes, take appropriate equipment, water and sufficient high-energy food.

Take a mobile phone with a fully charged battery, a spare battery and a torch.

Do not wander from the track or path; follow the traditional signs.

Take your physical condition into account and conserve your energy for the return trip.

Wear footwear that supports your ankles and make sure the ground you step on is firm.

Be on the lookout for rockfalls.

Avoid any places that seem dangerous.

Do not light fires in the woods.

In the event of an emergency, phone 112.
