Ski mountaineering in mountain stations

Specific rules and recommendations for practicing ski mountaineering in mountain resorts

The number of ski mountaineering participants in regulated activity areas of mountain resorts has increased in recent years. Although it is a fascinating and healthy sport, ski mountaineering can also cause potential risks and conflicts on the slopes if it is not practiced in a conscious, prudent and orderly manner.

The authorization and conditions required to practice ski mountaineering in the area of a mountain station depend exclusively on each operating company and are regulated in the internal regulations of each station, as provided for by Law 21-2022, of June 9th, of mountain stations.

Like any other user of the slopes, ski mountaineering participants are subject to the internal regulations of the mountain resorts.

Have a ski pass

To practice ski mountaineering in the resorts, the operating company requires that you have a ski pass to carry out the activity in the regulated activity areas of the resort.

Main rules for ski mountaineering in mountain stations

Mountain skiing must be carried out in compliance with the safety conditions, the recommendations as well as the instructions of accredited personnel and during the schedules indicated in the internal regulations of each resort. The itineraries and authorized slopes in each resort must be consulted before starting to practice mountain skiing.

In addition to other more restrictive regulations that the operating entity may dictate, the practice of ski mountaineering must take into account, at minimum, the following considerations:

In areas of regulated activity, its practice is allowed only on the itineraries or on the ski slopes and at the times provided by the operating entity.

Dogs are forbidden.

In the direction of ascent, and if the itinerary is along a ski slope, the user must go up one side of the slope, avoiding the skiers who are going down at all times. If users go up in a group, they must do so in single file.

At night, the user must go down at a moderate speed, equipped with a headlamp that generates a luminous flux of at least 300 lumens and using reflective accessories.

Downward:

By day; if the user goes down a ski slope, he is subject to the rules of conduct established by the International Ski Federation

At night, if the user goes down a ski slope, they must always do so along one of the sides of the slope so as not to damage and respect the work of the snow groomers.

If you circulate through areas of regulated activity, the passage will be made exclusively through the zones established by the operating company and respecting the conditions required by the internal regulations of the station.

If ski mountaineering is practiced in non-regulated areas of activity, the station is not responsible for the safety or rescue of the ski mountaineering participant, and does not carry out conditioning or protection actions.

Remember, you are responsible for your own safety and the correct use of your equipment.
