The 10 Rules of Good Conduct for Skiers on the Slopes
- Respect for Other Skiers: behave in a way that does not endanger or inconvenience other skiers and snowboarders.
- Control of Speed: adjust your speed and behaviour to match your ability level, the weather conditions, the terrain, and the density of other skiers.
- Choice of Route: the skier uphill is responsible for choosing a route that ensures the safety of skiers downhill.
- Overtaking: you may overtake on the right or the left, but always leave enough space for the other skier to continue their route safely.
- Entering and Crossing Slopes: before entering a slope or after stopping, make sure to check both uphill and downhill to ensure it is safe to proceed.
- Stopping on the Slope: avoid stopping in narrow or blind spots. If you fall, clear the slope as quickly as possible.
- Walking Up or Down the Slope: if you need to walk on the slope, stay at the edge to avoid obstructing other skiers.
- Respect for Signs and Markings: follow all signs, markers, and signals on the slopes (closures, avalanche risks, etc.).
- Assistance in Case of an Accident: if there is an accident, provide assistance and notify the rescue services.
- Identification in Case of an Accident: if you are involved in an accident, even if you are not at fault, you must provide your identity and offer testimony if necessary.
