Protected natural area
Respect the mountains
Leave nature as you found it
Don't pick plants, disturb animals or feed wildlife. Take all litter home with you.
Keep it quiet
Use headphones or a low volume so other visitors can enjoy the calm of the lake too.
Mountain weather changes fast
Even on a short walk, bring a warm layer and check the sky. Paths can be icy outside summer.
