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
