Regulations

The International Ski Federation FIS's safety regulations have won worldwide acceptance at every ski resort in the western hemisphere and are referred to in cases of legal uncertainties about responsibility. It is taken for granted that you know these rules before you start skiing. Read the ten safety rules on this page carefully.

  1. RESPECT - do not endanger others.
  2. CONTROL - adapt the manner and speed of your skiing to your ability and to the general conditions of the trail.
  3. CHOICE OF ROUTE - the skier/snowboarder in front has priority - leave enough space.
  4. OVERTAKING - leave plenty of space when overtaking a slower skier.
  5. ENTERING AND STARTING - look up and down the hill before starting or entering a marked run.
  6. STOPPING - only stop at the edge of the piste or where you can easily be seen.
  7. CLIMBING - when climbing up or down always keep to the side of the piste.
  8. SIGNS - obey all signs and markings - they are there for your safety
  9. ASSISTANCE - in the case of accidents provide help and alert the rescue service.
  10. IDENTIFICATION - all those involved in an accident, including witnesses, should exchange names and addresses.
