Rules for skiing in Sweden

The skier's skiing rules in our Swedish ski resorts

As a SkiPass holder, you commit to following the rules in SLAO’s Yellow Book. Read SLAO’s Yellow Book in full here.

1

Be alert – be considerate
Behave in such a way that you don’t risk injuring anyone else.

2

Adjust your speed
and skiing style to the terrain, equipment, weather, and your own skiing ability.

3

Choose your direction
Skiers must avoid skiers downhill of them.

4

Take the care when setting off
Look both uphill and downhill to make sure the piste is clear before you start your run.

5

Stop only where you can be seen
If you have to stop – do so only where you are clearly visible, and others can ski around you. If you fall – move clear of the piste as soon as
possible.

6

Leave space when overtaking
Leave enough space for the skier you are overtaking.

7

Climb up at the side of the piste
Always climb up the side of the piste. This is particularly important when visibility is poor.

8

Respect the signs.
Rules and instructions on the slopes are there to ensure that everyone can enjoy the slopes safely. Follow them.

9

Provide assistance 
You must provide assistance in the event of accidents. If you are involved in an accident, you must provide your name and address.

10

Notify staff
Notify the staff in the resort if you come across obstacles, hazards or accidents on the ski lifts or pistes.

More rules that are important to know for your own safety and the safety of others:

  • It is not permitted to ski with a child in a carrier or harness during alpine skiing, as this involves significant risks.
  • It is not permitted to use sledges or snowracers in our slopes. If you wish to go sledding, you are welcome to use our sledding hills, all marked on the piste map.
  • After closing hours, it is not permitted to sled, ski, or otherwise be in the ski area, as it is considered a work zone.

If any skier fails to observe the rules of the resort, the resort may block their SkiPass.
