Safety and health

Liechtenstein is a rich, quiet, heavily policed country of 41,000 people, and crime against travellers is not the thing to plan around. Every commune has its own Gemeindepolizei alongside the national Landespolizei, and the whole country is smaller than a mid sized city. Ordinary van practice covers it: nothing visible through the windows, doors locked, arrive somewhere you can see before dark.

A bare rocky ridge above steep grass slopes with the valley far below — The Fürstensteig traverses a face like this one. Graded T3, and it earns it

In the mountains

The Fürstensteig is graded T3, alpine hiking: exposed, secured with cable in places, and not for anyone uneasy with drops. Boots, not trainers.
Start early. Afternoon storms build over the Rätikon through the summer, and August is the wettest month of the year in the valley below.

Health and numbers

112 reaches every service. 117 police, 118 fire, 144 ambulance. The Landespolizei switchboard is +423 236 71 11.
The country dialling code is +423 and numbers are seven digits.

Pharmacies and restaurants may open on Sundays and public holidays without a permit under the shop closing ordinance, which makes a pharmacy the reliable Sunday stop for anything minor.
