FIS PISTE RULES
All skiers must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others.
Every skier must ski on sight. They must adapt their speed and skiing style to their ability, the terrain, snow and weather conditions and the density of traffic.
The skier coming from behind must choose his lane in such a way that he does not endanger the skier in front of him.
You may overtake from above or below, from the right or left, but always at a distance that leaves the overtaken skier enough room for all his movements.
Every skier who wants to enter a ski run or start again after a stop must make sure that they can do so up and down without endangering themselves or others.
Every skier must avoid staying in narrow or unclear places on a descent without need. A skier who has fallen must clear such a place as quickly as possible.
A skier ascending or descending on foot must use the edge of the slope.
Every skier must observe the markings and signalling.
Every skier is obliged to provide assistance in the event of an accident.
Every skier, whether witness or participant, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details in the event of an accident.
