Cur­rent tra­vel infor­ma­ti­on for your cycling or hiking tour with Feu­er und Eis Touristik

Up-to-date and relia­ble tra­vel infor­ma­ti­on and gene­ral tips “on tour”. 

Up-to-date and relia­ble tra­vel infor­ma­ti­on is of cour­se part of our under­stan­ding of a respon­si­ble tour ope­ra­tor. We are curr­ent­ly not awa­re of any tra­vel rest­ric­tions due to wea­ther, pan­de­mic or offi­ci­al tra­vel war­nings or simi­lar, so not­hing stands in the way of your tra­vel expe­ri­ence. If the cur­rent situa­ti­on requi­res it, we will inform you imme­dia­te­ly with the tra­vel docu­ments or direct­ly by e‑mail.

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on in case of bad weather

Plea­se use our bad wea­ther alter­na­ti­ves in your stage descrip­ti­on (tra­vel docu­ments) and find out about the cur­rent situa­ti­on befo­re and during the tour on the inter­net, from hut owners or at your accom­mo­da­ti­on befo­re the start of the hike. For the Tyrol regi­on, we recom­mend the fol­lo­wing (online) cont­act points: www.zamg.at (sel­ect the wea­ther for the Tyrol regi­on), www.tt.com (Tyro­lean dai­ly news­pa­per), radio (Radio Tirol station) 

Extre­me rain­fall can lead to muds­li­des, lands­li­des or blo­cked paths due to trees/debris on hiking and cycling trails. We stron­gly recom­mend that you do not con­ti­nue hiking/cycling but turn back and aban­don the stage.
You can usual­ly use your guest card from the pre­vious day to tra­vel on public buses to the stage desti­na­ti­on. If streams and rivers are in flood, plea­se take spe­cial care and do not use bridges (turn back, use alter­na­ti­ves) — this also appli­es to cycle tours. If you are unsu­re, call our 7‑day care­free ser­vice num­ber (in your tra­vel docu­ments)! We will be hap­py to help you. 

Road clo­sures due to past storms

In the moun­ta­ins and throug­hout the Alps, seve­re storms with gale-force winds can occur and cau­se dama­ge to forests. This could cau­se trees or parts of trees to be kno­cked over and uproo­ted and block hiking or cycling trails. As far as we are awa­re, we will inform you of alter­na­ti­ve rou­tes or detour in your stage descrip­ti­on. If the­re is a storm during your tour, it is best to ask at the hotel about any clo­sed paths and alter­na­ti­ve routes/detours befo­re the start of the stage. Plea­se do not bypass road clo­sures and respect the cor­re­spon­ding pro­hi­bi­ti­on signs.
