Hoch hinaus: Aufstieg zum Risihorn

The last stretch on the way to the summit is very steep, but well secured, a rope is attached to make the ascent easier. Anyone who is not confident about the last passage should better skip the last few metres. 

Exploring steep and remote mountain regions for several hours can bring surprises and be exhausting. Therefore, it is recommended to stick to the following points: 

• Take regular breaks, approximately every 1-1½ hours and whenever concentration begins to wane. Rest and refresh yourselves with something to drink and a small snack.
• Regularly check your location and compare it with your schedule. This way you can think in good time about alternatives, shortcuts, breaking off, etc.
• In the event of bad weather, turn back or seek shelter in good time. If thunderclouds are gathering, it is advisable to abort the tour as soon as possible.
• Plan enough time and energy reserves for the descent.
• Avoid herds of cattle and wild animals calmly and with sufficient distance. Keep dogs on a leash.
• When encountering guard dogs, remain calm so that the dog realises that you are not a danger to the herd. Keep a generous distance around the herd.
• Allow mountain bikers to pass without impeding their progress.
