The use of any snowshoe trail should not be undertaken alone.
Sufficient opportunities to turn back as well as a time-reserve for unplanned situations should always be taken into consideration.
The operational timings of any mountain lifts involved should be known, in particular the "last run" of the day.
Inform someone about your planned route and objectives. Do not forget to inform that person of your return.
Protect Nature and the Environment: only leave your tracks in the snow behind!
It is strongly recommended to have the appropriate equipment with you at all times.
You should seek the assistance of a mountain guide.
