Etiquette on the ski slopes- for everyone's sake

But those beautiful tracks don't just happen. Behind each freshly laid metre are many hours of work, often early in the morning or late at night. For trails to last and work for everyone, especially when many people are out at the same time, we need to be considerate. By following a few simple rules, we can contribute to both enjoyment and sustainable trails:

1. Dogs in the track area
Dogs are welcome to come along, but must be kept on a lead at all times and only on the skate tracks. Remember to pick up after your dog. Also be aware that some trails are not suitable for dogs at all - signs show what applies.

2. Gnot in the ski tracks
Cross-country tracks are for skiing, pedestrians quickly destroy cross-country tracks.

3. sledging in the right place
Sledges are allowed on the skating track, unless they are equipped with skis that protect the classic tracks.

4. Show respect for nature
Take care of your rubbish and leave animals and nature alone. Unspoilt nature is an important part of the skiing experience.

5. respect the direction of travel
Many trails are one-way for better flow and safety. Follow signs and markings.

6. Show consideration when overtaking
The person coming from behind is responsible for overtaking. At the same time, it is appreciated if the person being overtaken steps out of the lane and lets you pass. A friendly "thank you" makes a big difference.

7. Pause outside the track
If you need to stop, get completely off the track and hold the poles together so that no one risks tripping.

8. Scissor carefully
When scissoring on slopes - stay off the classic tracks to avoid unnecessary damage.

9. adjust the speed
Weather and terrain can change quickly. Ride at a speed that allows you to react to obstacles or fellow riders.

10. Contribute to the future of trails
Many ski trails are managed by volunteers. If you have the opportunity to swish a contribution - please do so. Your support helps keep the trails in good condition.
