10 rules of good conduct to adopt on the ski slopes

  1. Respect for others!: all skiers must behave in such a way that they cannot put others in danger or harm them
  2. Control of speed and behavior: all slope users must adapt their speed and behavior to their personal abilities as well as to the general conditions of the terrain, snow, weather and the density of traffic on the slopes
  3. Control of the direction: the uphill skier, whose dominant position allows the choice of a trajectory, must plan a direction that ensures the safety of anyone downstream
  4. Overtaking: overtaking can be done upstream or downstream, to the right or to the left, but always wide enough to prevent people being overtaken from moving
  5. At the crossroads of the slopes or during a departure: any skier who enters a downhill slope, enters after parking or makes a turn upstream must make sure by examining the upstream and the downstream, that he can do so without danger to himself and to others
  1. Parking: all skiers must avoid parking unnecessarily on the slopes, in narrow passages or without visibility. In the event of a fall, the skier must clear the piste as quickly as possible.
  2. Ascent and descent on foot: the skier who is obliged to go up or down a track on foot must use the edge of the track, taking care that neither he nor his equipment is a danger to others.
  3. Observance of markings and signs: all skiers must take into account information on weather conditions (state of the slopes and snow) as well as respect the markings and signs.
  4. Assistance: in the event of an accident, any witness or actor must lend assistance, in particular by giving the alert to the trackers / firefighters. If necessary, and at the request of the rescuers, she must make herself available to them.
  5. Identification: any skier witness or responsible party or not of an accident is required to make known his identity
