Safety guidelines
Information on cleared winter hiking trails
We would like to point out that the first priority of the local clearing services is to ensure road safety. Depending on the weather and snow conditions, this means that roads in public areas have priority over winter hiking trails and are cleared first. There may therefore be delays in clearing the winter hiking trails. However, the town will do its best to clear the winter hiking trails for you,
thank you for your understanding and enjoy your winter hiking pleasure!
Author Tip
