Alpine Code of Conduct
Your safety is a priority for most Alpine ski centres, but you also have a responsibility to ski safely. Have a look at this skiing code of conduct.
- Ski carefully so that you don’t injure yourself or others. Wear protective equipment.
- Adapt your speed to the conditions
- If you are approaching from above or behind, it is your responsibility to avoid collisions
- Show caution when overtaking, and allow plenty of room
- Skiing sideways is not allowed, unless this is part of an organised course
- Do not stop where you cannot be seen by approaching skiers
- Have a good look all around you when you start a descent, e.g. after a rest break
- When entering a slope, use the outer edges
- The use of ski brakes or retention devices is not permitted – check that your bindings have been correctly fitted
- Follow signs, markings and instructions
- If you see anyone who has been injured, it is your duty to help them
