Respect other skiers and be aware of your surroundings

Example: If you see a group of beginners taking lessons, slow down and pass at a safe distance to avoid scaring or colliding with them

Fluorescent orange signs are there to guide you and warn you of dangers

Example: If a sign indicates a slowing zone due to an intersection, reduce your speed and follow the instructions to safely cross

Take your abilities, the slope, and weather conditions into account

Example: In foggy conditions, slow down and be especially vigilant of other skiers and invisible obstacles

Before starting on a slope, check above and below

Example: Before starting again after a break at the side of the piste, look up and down to make sure no skier is coming at high speed

Make sure not to endanger the skier below you

Example: If you are descending a slope and see a skier below, adjust your path to pass behind them and avoid a collision

Leave enough space to anticipate the movements of the skier you are passing

Example: If you overtake a beginner skier, give them plenty of space as their movements may be unpredictable

If you fall, move off the slope quickly and always stop at the side

Example: If you fall in the middle of the piste, get up quickly and move to the side to avoid being hit by other skiers

If you need to go up or down on foot, do so at the side of the piste

Example: If you need to walk up a small slope, stay at the side so you do not obstruct descending skiers

If you are involved in or witness an accident, call the emergency number 04 79 09 67 60

Example: If you witness a collision between two skiers, call the emergency services and stay on site to provide your information and help if necessary

Anyone must report an accident and remain available for the ski patrol

Example: If you see an injured skier at the side of the piste, alert the ski patrol and stay with them until help arrives
