Before every snowshoe hike, you should always check the latest avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and assessing the situation on site are - even more so in winter - primarily your own responsibility. Tourism organisations or avalanche warning services do not accept any liability based on the information provided.
