Warning
The top of Gausta Maraton can be very exposed to avalanches when avalanche danger is high. The steep snow slopes above the route are a particular concern for the walk out.
What to do
- When avalanche danger is high, rappel down instead of hiking out above Gausta Maraton.
- Check current avalanche information and assess the terrain locally.
