Safety Note

Legal Notice - Disclaimer / Exclusion of Liability


Ski and snowshoe route


The ski and snowshoe routes are to be understood as general directions. Depending on conditions, ascent and descent routes must be adapted. No guarantee can be given for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information provided.


Doing ski touring in open and unsecured terrain is at your own risk. Thorough preparation, route planning, and obtaining current information about snow and avalanche conditions are strongly recommended to every tour participant.


Liability is excluded for accidents resulting from the use of the published information and route descriptions.


This route description and any markings on the terrain do not represent a route recommendation. The decision to proceed lies solely with the individual tour participant. It is strongly advised against undertaking the route in poor weather and visibility conditions (fog, snowfall, etc.) or when there is an increased avalanche danger. Beware of spring conditions: from approximately March and generally on warm and/or very sunny days, tours must be ended early.


Before every tour, inform yourself about the current snow and avalanche situation at www.slf.ch/lawinenbulletin


We recommend undertaking ski and snowshoe tours in alpine and high alpine terrain with a mountain guide.


Every tour participant is responsible for fully equipping themselves and informing themselves about snow and avalanche conditions before the tour. Flims Laax Falera Management AG assumes no liability.

Equipment

The question of the right equipment for ski touring is not easy to answer! It depends on the season and weather conditions as well as the type and duration of the route. Furthermore, the difficulty, altitude, and other factors must be considered! Basically, the rule is: as little as possible, as much as necessary!
