Safety and Code of Conduct - All routes are used at the hiker’s own risk, as they are not monitored. - Choose your route according to your fitness level and the weather conditions. Check the weather forecast (daily updates available at Tourist Offices or Chamonix Weather: 08 99 71 02 74) and remember to bring warm, waterproof clothing. Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly. - Follow the instructions indicated on the signposts. - Never hike alone. - Do not set off too late in the afternoon to ensure you return before nightfall. - In the event of bad weather or snowfall, some routes may be impassable (information available from Tourist Offices, ski patrols or guide offices). - Do not use cross-country or downhill ski runs. Crossing the runs is permitted only at marked crossings. - Take sufficient food and water with you. Mountain sports require a significant amount of energy.
