Consideration for other skiers and snowboarders

Every skier and snowboarder must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others.

Control of speed and driving style

Every skier and snowboarder must ski on sight. They must adapt their speed and skiing style to their ability and to the terrain, snow and weather conditions as well as traffic density.

Choice of lane

Skiers and snowboarders coming from behind must choose their lane so as not to endanger skiers and snowboarders in front of them.

Overtaking

Overtaking is allowed from above or below, from the right or from the left, but always at a distance that leaves the overtaken skier or snowboarder enough space for all their movements.

Driving in, starting and driving uphill

Every skier and snowboarder who wants to enter a downhill run, start again after a stop or swing or ride uphill must make sure that they can do so up and down without endangering themselves or others.

Stopping

Every skier or snowboarder must avoid staying in narrow or unclear places on a slope without need. A skier or snowboarder who has fallen must clear such a place as quickly as possible.

Ascent and descent

A skier or snowboarder ascending or descending on foot must use the edge of the slope.

Observing signs

Every skier and snowboarder must observe the markings and signals.

Assistance

In the event of an accident, every skier and snowboarder is obliged to provide assistance.

Compulsory identification

Every skier and snowboarder, whether witness or participant, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details in the event of an accident.
