Staying Safe on the Mountain: Our Checklist for Hiking Season

“Stay Safe on the Mountain”—that’s the large white headline on a green area with rounded corners that takes up the top part of the image. Below it, in smaller font, it says: “What Really Belongs in Your Backpack.” Below the green area is a round white box with a green arrow pointing to the right, indicating to turn the page. In the background is a photo: An old olive-green canvas backpack with leather straps sits on a rock by the side of the trail, with a pair of worn brown hiking boots in front of it. All around are grass and mountain shrubs; behind them, in the warm evening light, are forested mountain ranges and a bright sky. In the lower right corner is the logo of Familienpraxis Tirol: a delicate line drawing of mountains with figures, with the text “Familienpraxis Tirol” below it.“Set out well-prepared” appears as a green headline on a white card with rounded corners, which takes up most of the image. Below it is a list in dark text: “Check the weather, set a turnaround time, know an alternate route,” “Bring enough drinking water—many springs are dry this year,” “Bring snacks for the trail—even for an extra hour,” “A small first-aid kit belongs in every backpack.” In the upper left corner, on a green background, is the white word “Preparation”; in the upper right, inside a green circle, is the number 2. In the background is a photo: a pair of worn brown hiking boots on a rock, surrounded by grass, with mountain slopes and a bright sky behind them in the evening light. In the lower right corner, on a white field, is the logo featuring a delicate line drawing of mountains and figures, along with the lettering “Familienpraxis Tirol.”“Take good care of yourselves in the mountains” is written in green as the headline on a large white card with rounded corners. Below it, centered in dark text, is a list: “Altitude: ascend slowly, take breaks, turn back if in doubt,” “Sun: Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses—UV radiation increases with altitude,” “Ticks: Check for ticks after the hike, verify TBE protection,” “Phone charged, Mountain Rescue 140 saved.” In the upper left corner, the white word “On the Trail” on a green background; in the upper right corner, the number 3 inside a green circle. In the background, a photo: worn brown hiking boots standing on a large rock, surrounded by grass and mountain shrubs, with mountain slopes and a bright sky behind them in warm light. In the lower right corner, on a white background, a delicate line drawing of mountains with figures and the text “Familienpraxis Tirol.”“Not sure about your vaccination record?” appears as a large white headline on a green background with rounded corners in the upper part of the image. Below it, in smaller white text: “Just bring it with you to your next appointment, and we’ll look at it together.” Below the green area is a white card with contact information: on the left in green, “Phone”; on the right, “05533 25900”—the number listed is 05332 25900—and below that, on the left, “Web” and on the right, “www.familienpraxis.tirol.” In the background is a photo: an olive-green canvas backpack and a pair of worn brown hiking boots on a large rock, surrounded by grass and mountain shrubs; behind them, in warm light, are mountain slopes and a bright sky. In the lower right corner, on a white field, is a delicate line drawing of mountains with figures and the lettering “Familienpraxis Tirol.”
