Safety information
TEN RULES FOR CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERSThe International Ski Federation FIS (Fédération Internationale de Ski) has also issued ten rules for cross-country skiers:
1. Every cross-country skier must behave so as not to endanger or injure anyone.
2. It is necessary to observe markings and warning signs, and ski trails must be used in the designated direction.
3. On double and multi-track trails, skiing must be done on the right track. Cross-country skiers in a group must ski one behind the other on the right track.
4. Overtaking is allowed on the right or left on a free track or outside the track. A skier in front does not need to leave the trail but must yield if they believe it can be done safely.
5. When meeting others, every skier must move to the right.
6. When overtaking or being overtaken, poles must be held close to the body.
7. Every skier must especially on steep sections adapt their speed and movements to their skills, terrain conditions, traffic density, and visibility. They must also maintain a safe distance from the skier ahead. If necessary, they should fall to prevent a collision.
8. Whoever stops should step off the ski trail. A fallen skier should leave the ski trail as soon as possible.
9. Everyone is obliged to help in accidents.
10. Everyone, whether a witness or involved in an accident, must provide their personal data regardless of fault.
