We assume no liability. Each guest is directly responsible for themselves and should be able to assess their own fitness levels.
Keep in mind: In the open terrain there are sinkholes (collapses or funnel-shaped hollows in the earth’s surface, which have arisen from stones in the bedrock coming loose or from caves collapsing)!
Keep an eye out for a potential change in the weather – signs to look for are wind picking up, fog, and temperature increase.
Check out the current situation from the avalanche bulletin, e.g. at www.lawinen.at
Pay attention to the avalanche warning lights and notice boards. Follow the instructions of the piste patrol and the rescue service.
Never rely on tracks already made in the snow! They do not guarantee your safety from avalanches and could take you in a completely wrong direction – or straight into a sinkholes.
Save the phone no. for the lift operating company +43 50 140 and the mountain rescue service (140) to your mobile for emergencies. If you should find yourself in a hollow without reception, take out your SIM card and dial 112.
For long distance walks off the trails: Take emergency equipment with you as a matter of course (avalanche transceiver, avalanche probe, shovel, First Aid kit and a mobile)!
Here you will find an overview of current events and promotion days at the Feuerkogel in Ebensee.
