Safety & Rules of Conduct

Why ski with a teacher?

The reason why many people choose to rely on a teacher to improve their technique or to be accompanied to the discovery of the district lies in the experience and the ability to give advice of our teachers. Many do not know that in order to become a ski instructor you need to carry out a tough training course lasting 90 days plus 90 hours of classes. So the figure to be born will be able to dispense tips and advise the best type of attitude in any dangerous situation..
In addition, teachers are required to perform a mandatory update every three years to be able to remain always in step with the times both in technical aspects and safety standards.
The technique taught is finally assured by the fact that all teachers follow the same manual that is of Italian skiing which is updated every two years according to new trends and technical revolutions.

The teacher becomes the key figure of the ski area. A person technically and psychologically prepared to face any eventuality.

A point of reference for all skiers who need advice on technical or environmental conditions.

CAUTION: Before venturing off-course without a guide, see the snow and get advice from a master.

The 12 basic rules of conduct for skiing safety:

Respect for others: Every skier has to behave so as not to endanger other people or to cause damage.
Control of speed and behavior: Every skier has to stick to a speed and behavior appropriate to their ability, to the weather and the runway.
Choice of direction: The skier upstream must keep a correct direction to avoid the danger of collision with downhill skiers.
Overtaking: Overtaking can be done both upstream as downstream, on the right or left, but always at a distance to allow the evolution of the skier left behind.
Crossing: A skier on a track that enter or cross an area of practice must ensure, through visual inspection of downstream, that can do so without endangering anyone by giving precedence to the right.
Stop: The skier must avoid stopping on the tracks, especially in narrow places or in points without visibility.
Ascent: It is forbidden to walk the trail except in case of urgent need. Descending a slope on foot, the skier should proceed only at the edges of it.
Compliance with signage: All skiers must obey all signs of the slopes.
In case of accident: Everyone needs to help for rescue in case of accidents.
ID: Anyone involved in or witnessing an accident is bound to give names and addresses.
Minimum passing space from the edge of the runway: Skiers should always leave enough space on the track to facilitate anyone's passing.
Trajectories: Attention must be paid to the trajectories of the skiers in relation to the type of skis used.
