Be safe in the mountains in winter, too

It is understandable that the snow-capped peaks are attractive to the eye and that they lure many people out of the valley. But bear in mind that they can also be insidious. The mountain paths are covered in snow and so markings are not visibleAvalanches, icy sections and cornices of snow blown by wind over crests await hikers. If you need an hour to climb a peak in summer, this time at least doubles in winter conditions. Days are shorter, the temperature is lower and wind is more frequent. So here are a few tips about things to check before you head into the snowy mountain idyll.

Skate on ice

When temperatures drop below freezing for several consecutive days, ice is formed on lakes, and when the layer of ice is thick enough, it becomes an excellent ice skating surface where we can enjoy the natural surroundings and engage in a sport that's great for our health.

Skip carousel

To counter the unpredictable winter weather and provide the opportunity to have fun on ice for as many residents and visitors as possible, ice skating rinks are being set up in many tourist towns and cities. There, you can skate to the sound of music and warm up afterwards with a hot drink.
