The route partly crosses high-alpine terrain and requires a very good level of fitness, sure-footedness, and experience in alpine environments. Sudden weather changes, fog, strong winds, or snowfields can occur even during summer. The technical descents and long climbs should not be underestimated. Checking the current weather conditions and carrying appropriate equipment are strongly recommended.

Even officially open hiking trails may still be partially covered with snow. Participation and use of the route are at your own risk: Tourismus Adelboden-Lenk-Kandersteg accepts no liability for the use of local routes.
