Tour of the Altiporto

Safety information

For snow hiking activities follow these guidelines:

• Inform yourself well about the route and its conditions before leaving. You can do this by contacting the tourist information office closest to you; 
• the day before the excursion consult the weather forecast and the avalanche bulletin; 
• if you plan to reach a mountain hut or refuge, make sure they are open and, if you intend to stop to eat or sleep, call them in advance to book;
• before leaving, if you don't feel well, postpone going out until you feel better;
• never leave waste at high altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or mountain huts you visit;
• If you spot wild animals along the way, we invite you not to approach them, not to shout and to keep your dog on a leash, to prevent him from instinctively chasing them, scaring them.
