Rules

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.
