Échelle de randonnée (SAC)
Les randonneurs et les grimpeurs connaissent probablement les marques colorées que l'on peut toujours voir sur les chemins et les itinéraires de montagne. Il s'agit d'estimations du niveau de difficulté du chemin ou de l'itinéraire.
La classification des niveaux respectifs remonte à l'échelle SAC, qui a été développée en 2002 par le Club Alpin Suisse (SAC).
LEVEL | PATH | TERRAIN | REQUIREMENTS |
|---|---|---|---|
T4 - Alpine walking | Path not necessarily available. Sometimes need to use hands to keep going. | Mostly exposed. Tricky grass heaps, rocky slopes, simple firn fields and snow covered glacier passages. | Familiarity in exposed terrain. Stable trekking shoes. Terrain assessment and good navigation skills. Alpine experience. |
T3 - Challenging mountain hiking | A footpath is usually available. Exposed places mostly secured with ropes or chains. | Partially exposed areas with danger of falling, gravel plains, pathless steep terrain. | Good steady footing Good trekking shoes. Average navigation skills. Basic Alpine experience. |
T2 - Mountain hiking | Continuous route and passage marking. | Steep in parts. Danger of falling not excluded. | Some steady footing Trekking shoes recommended. Basic navigation skills. |
T1 - Hiking | Well developed, signposted and marked. Somewhat exposed places very well secured. | Flat or slightly inclined. No danger of falling with appropriate behaviour. | No steady footing necessary. Can be walked in trainers. Navigation without a map possible. |
