Safety on the Slopes


  • Respect for others
    Be aware of all skiers/snowboarders around you and do not endanger them.
  • Control of speed
    Only ski/ snowboard within the limits of your ability, and be sure you can always stop safely.
  • Choice of route
    Pick your route carefully and be prepared to handle changing situations with skiers/ snowboarders and the mountain itself.
  • Overtaking
    Always allow space for others to make their turns and remember that skiers/ snowboarders ahead of you have the right of way.
  • Starting or entering a piste
    Look up or down the run and ensure space to avoid other skiers/ snowboarders paths.
  • Stopping on the piste
    Always stop at the side of the piste, away from narrow places, blind corners or sudden drops. After a fall, move quickly to the side.
  • Climbing & descending on foot
    If this is necessary, keep to the side, near piste makers.
  • Respect for signs & markers
    Always obey signs. They provide vital information for you and your safety on the mountain.
  • Assistance at accidents & identification
    Understand accident procedures and be prepared to help. Witnesses must provide names and addresses.
