General rules of conduct for cross-country skiing in the skiable areas

General rules of conduct for cross-country skiing at night

• A head torch capable of lighting the way and reflective accessories must be worn at all times to ensure that you can see and, more importantly, be seen.
• The established night-time routes must be followed at all times, both when ascending and descending.
• Always descend on the side of the slope to stay out of harm’s way and to not interrupt the workers.
• Take your time when descending as there may be machinery at work and motorbikes using the slopes at the same time.
• Check the weather forecast and avalanche risk prior to going out.
