All those involved (guests, employees, tour guides and chauffeurs) are obliged to comply with the Outdoor Activities Safety Concept at all times. The management of My-Mountains.com GmbH ensures that all employees and its suppliers are informed about this Outdoor Activities Safety Concept and commit themselves to comply with it.
