Levels of difficulty
Hiking trails are often wide but may also be narrow and uneven. Steps are provided to assist with steep sections and safety rails are present to prevent falls. Apart from the ordinary need for care and attention, there are no special requirements for users. Appropriate clothing, including solid, slip-resistant shoes and topographic maps, are recommended.
Mountain trails are hiking trails which partly access difficult terrain. They are mostly steep and narrow and are ex posed in places. Particularly difficult sections are secured with ropes or chains. Users must be sure-foot-ed, have a head for heights, be physically fit, and have knowledge of dangers in the mountains (rock falls, dan-ger of slipping/falling, sudden changes in the weather). They should have all the appropriate hiking equipment with them.
Alpine routes sometimes lead over snowfields, glaciers and scree and through rocks with short climbing sec-tions and where there is no path. It cannot be assumed that structural precautions have been undertaken. Users must be surefooted, have a head for heights, be physi-cally very fit and have a good knowledge of dangers in the mountains. In addition to the equipment needed for mountain trails, a compass, rope, pick axe and crampons may also be needed.
