Trailknigge - Hikers and bikers, together we share the trail
For peaceful coexistence. Travelling with respect and tolerance. Consideration on (the) trail.
Say Sälü
Sharing paths makes you happy. A friendly greeting breaks any ice.
Ringing
Bikers make themselves noticed early, but without pushing.
After you
Hikers have right of way. Bikers pass other trail users slowly or descend briefly.
Stay safe
Shortcuts are taboo, that's a point of honour! Do not lock the rear wheel when braking, as this will ruin the route.
Moo, close the door!
Pass the gate slowly and close it if necessary. Respect for cows (suckler cow husbandry).
Gniesses
Hikers have right of way. Bikers pass other trail users slowly or descend briefly.
Tip for bikers! Avoid busy paths. Ride at off-peak times when it is usually quiet on the trails.
Alpine etiquette
Daran halten wir uns für erholsame Ferien und zur Sorgfalt für die Natur, Tiere sowie die Menschen.

Encountering cows: how to do it right
When hiking, you come across herds of cows time and again. To ensure that these encounters run smoothly, the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention in Agriculture (BUL) has drawn up three main rules and Suckler Cow Switzerland and the Swiss Hiking Trail Association have produced a short film on the subject.
ANIMALS ON A LARGE SCALE. IN RETURN, THE ALPINE MEADOWS MAY ALSO BE ENTERED.
NEVER TOUCH CALVES AND COWS.
KEEP DOGS ON A SHORT LEAD.
