Safety in the Tyrolean mountains
- Follow the Alpine path system in Tyrol. Here you will find the description of the mountain trail guidance system.
- Also take a look at the service checklists for mountain hiking, long-distance hiking and family hiking.
Hike safely and without detours through the Kaunertal mountains - the uniform signage based on the Tyrolean mountain path concept makes it easy for you to find the right path.
Signposts are the main element of signage for hiking and mountain trails. In order to prevent a "forest of signs" in nature, the number of signposts is kept as low as possible. In principle, signposts are attached to every important intersection, junction or fork in the road. These signposts are yellow and contain destination, walking time and route number. In addition, there is a red dot for moderately difficult trails and a black dot for difficult mountain trails.
