The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) has established a set of rules that much like the traffic rules on the roads are supposed to make ski slopes a safer place. We strongly advise you to stick to these rules for the safety of both you and the people around you.
All skiers and snowboarders must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others.
Every skier and snowboarder must ski and snowboard on sight. They must adapt their speed and skiing style to their ability, the terrain, snow and weather conditions and the density of traffic.
Skiers and snowboarders coming from behind must choose their lane in such a way that they do not endanger skiers and snowboarders in front of them.
Overtaking is permitted from above or below, from the right or from the left, but always at a distance that allows the overtaken skier or snowboarder sufficient space for all his movements.
Every skier or snowboarder who wants to enter a slope, start again after a stop or turn or ski uphill must look up and down to make sure that they can do so without endangering themselves or others.
Every skier and snowboarder must avoid stopping in narrow or unclear places on a descent without need. A skier or snowboarder who has fallen must clear such a place as quickly as possible.
A skier or snowboarder who ascends or descends on foot must use the edge of the slope.
Every skier and snowboarder must observe the markings and signalling.
In the event of an accident, every skier and snowboarder is obliged to provide assistance.
Every skier and snowboarder, whether witness or participant, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details in the event of an accident.
