Safety first!

The most important thing when planning a ski tour is to keep an eye on the weather conditions. When choosing your route, therefore, make sure the snow and weather conditions are safe. Furthermore, the right mountaineering equipment is essential for a successful ski tour in the Austrian mountains.

Nature lovers are expected to protect the natural environment and, for example, avoid skiing through young forests.

Rescue Cost Cover

We recommend checking whether your insurance also covers rescue costs in Austria. If not, the ‘Rescue Cost Cover’ package offered by the Vorarlberg Mountain Rescue Service is a particularly affordable alternative.
