Safety guidelines

Winter sports report

  • Use of the trails is at your own risk.  
  • Use only marked trails and observe all signs and notices—for your own safety, to protect the landscape and out of respect for wildlife. 
  • Be considerate towards other trail users. 
  • All cross-country skiers must, especially on descents, adapt speed and behavior to their skill level and visibility.  
  • In classic tracks and on the free technique piste, keep a safe distance to the skier in front and stay on the right side.  
  • If you stop, leave the trail.  
  • Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly without warning. Appropriate clothing is very important.
