Safety advice

  • Recommendations to ensure safety on the slopes to prevent incidents and report on medical care of injuries caused by skiing.

    • BE INFORMED

      Before you put your skis on, it is important to be informed on the weather forecast and snow conditions. Carrying a map of the resort in your pocket is highly recommended. Do not forget that only open slopes are secure and controlled.

    • GET EQUIPPED

      Get the right equipment adapted to your technical level and physical conditions. To limit risks, ensure a good adjustment of ski bindings. Wear authorized equipment and seek professional advice.

    • BE PREPARED

      The effort, high altitudes and the sun are factors to be considered. Do not underestimate them. It is important to warm up before the activity, measure your effort and properly hydrate.

    • PROTECT YOURSELF

      It's great to wear a helmet. The head is one of the most exposed parts in sliding sports. It is important to wear ski goggles and sunglasses on the snow, as UV rays may damage your eyes. Taking out an insurance policy would be an advantage. No one should ski or snowboard alone.

    • CONTROL YOUR SPEED

      Slow down on the areas for beginners, near the lifts, at the end of the slopes and at junctions. Adjust your speed according to your own skiing or snowboarding level, the snow conditions and the visibility on the slopes.

    • STOPS AND PRIORITIES

      Stop only at the edge of the slope or where you can easily be seen. Skiers in front of you always have the right of way. Look both ways before crossing under a ski lift line. Respect for others, you are not alone on the slopes.

    • PROPER CHAIRLIFT USE

      If wearing a backpack, remove it and hold it in front of you as you could otherwise be caught on the chair. Remember to lower the safety bar to avoid falling. Never jump out of the chairlift. In case you cannot get off the chairlift on arrival you should remain seated and wait. Do not swing the seat.

    • RESPECT FOR SIGN-POSTING

      Slopes and lifts are signposted and marked for your safety. Respect signs and sign-posting at all times. In case of doubt, please, contact the resort professionals.

    • OFF-PISTE SKIERS

      The resort discourages the off-skiing practice. Keep informed of the avalanche risk. Off-piste accidents are always under the sole responsibility of the skier himself. Off-piste skier requires a high technical level, a good knowledge of the mountain and special equipment. Mountain hazards (rocks, avalanches, cracks, ...) are not marked nor monitored by the resort. In any case, remember that skier is solely responsible for their own safety.


    • IF YOU GET INJURED

      In case of an accident, remember to stick the skis crossed on the snow. Protect yourself and keep warm. Alert the slopes service at the nearest lift.
