The safety of yourself and others is paramount to us which is why we recommend that you observe the International Ski Federation safe skiing code, both on and off-piste.
- Respect For Others - You must behave
in such a way that you do not endanger others.

be in control, and adapt your speed and manner of skiing to your ability
and the prevailing conditions of terrain, snow and weather, as well
as to the density of other skiers.
- Choice Of Route - You must choose your
route in such a way that, when coming from behind, you do not endanger
others ahead.
- Overtaking - Make sure that you leave enough room when
overtaking others for any voluntary or involuntary movements that they may make.
- Entering And Starting - When entering
a marked run, or starting again after stopping, make sure that you
look both up and down the run to ensure that you can do so without
endangering yourself or other skiers.
- Stopping - Unless absolutely necessary, you must avoid stopping
on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted.
- Climbing And Descending On Foot -When
climbing or descending on foot, you must keep to the sides of the
piste.
