    Rescue

    SKI PATROLLERS ADVICE

    Here are a few professional tips to stay safe in the mountains:

    Skiers and snowboarders, for your safety, do not stop below moguls or in the breaks in the slope

    Before starting on a run, make sure that it corresponds to your personal skiing level

    Fatigue is the cause of many accidents: stay alert

    If you witness an accident and you raise the alert, clearly specify the name of the slope, the marker number and the type of injuries

    Respect the closing times

    After the runs are closed, snow grooming machines with hidden cables take care of the maintenance

    For obvious safety reasons, we remind you that sledging, and skiing is strictly prohibited on the roads and village streets

    Any activity occuring outside of the marked runs is your sole responsibility.
