Rules

and policies

Use of the slopes and trails (alpine touring, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing) and access to the resort are permitted subject to acceptance of the Rules of Conduct and Safety for Trails and Alpine Touring, the Mountain Code of Conduct and the risks inherent in the practice of winter sports (ski touring, alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or any other sliding sport in the resort) and other instructions and measures in force at the resort.

The right of access is granted in consideration of your commitment to respect the rules of conduct and safety in force at the resort. If you fail to do so, access may be revoked and your ticket confiscated without notice or refund.

You assume full responsibility for any damage to property or personal injury resulting from the said inherent risks and dangers.

Be vigilant. It's your responsibility!

You must have purchased a right of access to access the trails and climb the alpine touring trails. The daily ski ticket or season ski pass does not confer the right to access the climbing trails.
Check and respect the opening and closing hours of the trails and ski runs. Check the conditions of the ski runs and alpine touring trails before leaving.
Users agree to follow the Mountain Code of Conduct at all times.
Climb only on designated and marked trails and only during the ski area's operating hours; stay visible and ride in single file.

It is forbidden to access trails or slopes that are closed and/or undergoing snowmaking and/or grooming. If you come across a motorized vehicle (ATV, snow groomer), stop on the edge of the run.
