The 10 rules of conduct for skiers & snowboarders regulate how to get along on the slopes.
Skiing and snowboarding, like any sport, involve certain risks. The FIS rules serve as a guideline for sporting and responsible behavior on the slopes in order to avoid accidents. These rules apply to all skiers and snowboarders, who are obliged to know and follow them. Violations that lead to an accident may result in civil and criminal penalties.
Every skier and snowboarder must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others.
Every skier and snowboarder must ski on sight. They must adapt their speed and riding style to their ability and the terrain, snow and weather conditions as well as the density of traffic.
Skiers and snowboarders coming from behind must choose their lane in such a way that they do not endanger skiers and snowboarders in front of them.
You may overtake from above or below, from the right or from the left, but always at a distance that allows the overtaken skier or snowboarder enough space for all his movements.
Every skier and snowboarder who wants to enter a slope, start again after a stop or swing or ride uphill must make sure that they can do so without endangering themselves or others.
Every skier and snowboarder must avoid staying in narrow or unclear places on a slope without need. A skier or snowboarder who has fallen must clear such a place as quickly as possible.
A skier or snowboarder ascending or descending on foot must use the edge of the slope.
Every skier and snowboarder must observe the markings and signaling.
Every skier and snowboarder is obliged to provide assistance in the event of an accident.
Every skier and snowboarder, whether witness or participant, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details in the event of an accident.
