Rules

• Ascents and descents are at your own risk and responsibility, any liability is declined.
• Ascents only on Spiga slope no. 1, on the edge of the slope and one after the other.
• No crossings at blind spots.
• Take special care on crests, bottlenecks and steep slopes.
• It is compulsory to follow the instructions of the piste and rescue services.
• Ascent and descent at night with headlamp switched on.

REASONS AND DANGERS

• There is danger to life if the rules are not followed!
• The slope preparation is often done on the rope, which is not always visible.
• The rope digs itself into the snow and rushes up with traction.
• Frozen tracks in freshly prepared slopes become an accident trap the next day.
• Hoses from snowmaking machines have enormous pressure and can cause life-threatening injuries if damaged.
• Rules have also been established to protect wildlife.
