Anticipate your changes of direction and look far ahead to adapt your trajectory.
Even if you are an excellent skier, moderate your speed according to visibility and snow conditions. Be especially careful in the caution zones where skiers of all levels are present.
The skier on the bottom can't see you: he has priority because he can't see behind him.
You must keep the right distance when overtaking other skiers. Take particular care with children, who can change direction without warning.
Like the Highway Code, it is the skier who starts out on the piste who must ensure that the way is clear.
After a fall on the slope, move quickly to the side so as not to disturb other skiers and to keep yourself safe.
After a fall, to recover your equipment, always stay clearly visible and on the side of the piste. And if you need to get off, stand to the side of the slope.
Signs adapted to each danger are installed by the ski patrols. Respect the instructions in place for your safety.
Contact the ski patrol on +33(0)4 79 07 85 66 and give them the name of the piste and the number of the signpost where the ski patrol is to intervene. Accurate information will guarantee a rapid response.
After the slopes have closed, access to the ski area is reserved for snow groomers. Skiers are not permitted for safety reasons.
