1 -Respect of others
All slopes users must always behave in such a way that they do not endanger others nor harm them by their behaviour or their equipment.

2 - Control of speed and behaviour
All slope users must adapt their speed and behaviour to their personal capacities as well as to the general conditions of the slopes, weather, snow conditions and density of other slope-users existing at the time.

3 - Choice of the direction by slope user above
The slope users who are higher up the slope are in a position which enables them to choose their trajectory. They must always make this choice in such a way that they do not endanger the slope users below.

4 - Overtaking
Overtaking may take place above or below, to the left or to the right, but must always be undertaken with sufficient space to take into account the evolution of movement of the slop user being overtaken.
5 - Entering, starting off from, crossing slopes
When ever entering, starting off from and crossing slopes, all users must check visually up-hill and down to ensure that they can do so without endangering themselves or other slope users.

7 - Walking up or downhill
Any slope-users who is obliged to move up or downhill on foot must keep to the side of the slope and ensure that neither he nor his equipment endangers other slope users.

9 - Assistance
Any person who is a witness or instigator of an accident must give assistance. In particular, by giving the alert. Should the need arise, and at the request of the mountain rescuers, he must place himself at their disposal.

6 - Stopping
All slope users must avoid stopping in narrow places or areas of restricted visibility. In the event of a fall, they should remove themselves from the slope as quickly as possible.

8 - Respect for information, signs, sign posting
Any slope-users must respect information, concerning weather conditions, the conditions of the slopes and of the snow. They must respect signs and signposting at all times.

10 - Identification
Any person who is involved on, or witness to, an accident must identify themselves to the ski patrol (or Emergency service) and to any others involved in the accident.

These rules are to be respected by all slopes users (ski, snowboard, telemark etc…). Rules N° 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, must be respected when skiing off piste.

Signposting

• Crossed yellow and black striped posts, ropes and nets indicate danger. When you do not head their warning you are in danger.
• Round signposts line the slopes. These indicate the name of the slope, the colour and a decreasing number from the top of the slopes.
(to be indicated in case of an accident)
• Open or closed signs can be found at the top of each slope. Respect the information.
• In bad weather and poor visibility there will be an orange signpost on the right side of the piste.
