Rules for Lift and Slope Use

- Skiers are obliged to comply with the signs in skiing areas and on lifts. The level of difficulty of each slope is to be considered a guideline only. Each level is shown on panoramic signs in the vicinity of the main departure stations, on ski maps available at all the open ticket offices, as well as on the round coloured signs alongside all ski runs.

- Children under the age of eight years may only use the lift if accompanied by an adult; no proof of age is required for children more than 1.25 metres in height (Min. Decree 8 March 1999 and subsequent amendments). It is understood that with the purchase of a child’s ski pass or acceptance of a free ski pass, the purchaser and/or person accepting the pass will accept all liability regarding the use of lifts and slopes by the minor, who will use said pass under the direct supervision of the purchaser and/or person accepting the pass.
