Every tour description, alpine tip and piece of information published on this website and on my social media channels (in particular Instagram, @alongside.outdoor) is prepared to the best of my knowledge, based on the teachings of recognised alpine associations (the Austrian Alpine Club and the German Alpine Club) as well as my training as a mountain hiking guide. It constitutes general information, does not relate to any specific individual case, and is no substitute for individual advice, a first aid course or medical treatment.
I expressly point out that mountain sports always involve alpine hazards and risks. Any use of the information, tour suggestions and tips provided here is always at your own risk and your own responsibility.
The tour descriptions reflect subjective impressions and conditions at the time they were written. Nature is constantly changing: due to weather, natural events (for example rockfall or landslides) or forestry work, trail conditions, markings and potential hazards can change at any time.
I therefore give no guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information provided. Likewise, my liability for personal injury, property damage or financial loss arising from the use or non-use of the information offered is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Liability for intent and gross negligence, as well as mandatory statutory liability, remains unaffected. The free provision of tour data or alpine tips is in no way a substitute for individual tour planning tailored to your personal abilities. Each user is responsible for realistically assessing their own fitness, checking the current weather situation and finding out about any trail closures.
Despite careful content review, no liability is assumed for the content of external links. The operators of linked sites are solely responsible for their content.
