The mountain area maintains traditional Austrian mountain customs through local guided tours and seasonal celebrations of Alpine heritage.
The route requires hiking experience and proper equipment, especially during unstable weather or winter conditions. The altitude and exposed rocky sections make sturdy footwear and careful attention to weather forecasts essential for safety.
