Code of Conduct
What is the purpose of the Mountain Code of Conduct?
The Mountain Code of Conduct defines specific rules to promote harmony between users and helps reducing the chance of injuries. It also applies to snow parks and the term “ski” includes all kinds of activities occurring in a ski resort (snowboard, telemark, etc.). favorisent la cohabitation harmonieuse de tous les usagers de la station et contribuent à diminuer les risques de blessures. Il s’applique également aux parcs à neige et le terme « ski » englobe tous les types d’activités pratiquées dans une station de ski (planche à neige, télémark, etc.)
For its security and that of others, every skier must adopt a respectful behaviour and comply to the Code and other rules in force in ski resorts. Ski patrols can intervene and remove someone’s ticket if they witness a violation of the Code. chaque skieur doit adopter un comportement respectueux et se conformer au code de conduite et aux autres règles en vigueur dans les stations. Les patrouilleurs peuvent intervenir auprès d’une personne qui enfreint le Code et lui retirer son billet de ski.
