The winter habitats and animal protection areas are mostly located in the forest. To preserve the animals' peace, one must follow the trail markings. At the respective starting points of the trails and at necessary points, information boards indicate this issue. In collaboration with wildlife wardens and forestry officials, the listed trails have been classified as wildlife- and forest-friendly. Snowshoers are asked not to leave the marked paths – for their safety and to protect the animals in the forest. We thank you for your consideration and wish you pleasant experiences during your winter hike.

The tourism office in Brig or the Magusii grocery store at Rosswald provide information material and brochures for hiking.

On the terraces of the mountain restaurants, you can enjoy the sun and the view.

• Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking trail including a large-scale map by clicking "Print" at the top right of the page.
• Only use marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect the livestock, and without disturbing the peace of the wildlife.
• Be considerate towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your waste and that of others with you.
• Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, especially in winter, even on cloudy days.
• Plan your hike carefully: take into account the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies.
• Weather conditions can change very quickly in the mountains without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, better turn back early.
• Pay attention to warning signs indicating dangers.
