Safety Note

The marked snowshoe trails of Pany and St. Antönien lead into unsecured, partly alpine winter terrain. It is up to each tour participant to fully equip themselves and inform themselves about snow and avalanche conditions before the tour. Also observe the safety instructions in the pocket map for the snowshoe trails and at the central information boards in Pany and St. Antönien.

The time indications are guidelines under good conditions for moderately experienced tour participants. Time indications for snowshoe tours can vary greatly depending on conditions, equipment, and fitness. Plan enough time and start early for the planned tour!

This tour description and the marking on the terrain do not constitute a tour recommendation. Every decision to proceed lies solely with the individual tour participant. It is strongly advised against proceeding in poor visibility conditions (fog, snowfall, etc.) or during increased avalanche danger. Attention spring conditions: From about March and generally on warm and/or very sunny days, tours must definitely be ended early.

Equipment

Well-functioning snowshoes, poles with winter baskets, good footwear, winter-appropriate clothing. The wind can significantly lower the perceived temperature in winter: do not forget winter gloves, hat, thermos bottle, etc.!

It is advisable to carry a complete winter touring equipment including an avalanche beacon on the marked snowshoe trails of Pany and St. Antönien as well as generally on all tours in free alpine terrain.
