Rules for skiing in Sweden

As a SkiPass holder, you are required to follow the rules set out in SLAO’s Lilla Gula.

When visiting any of our ski resorts in Sweden, common slope safety rules apply. These rules are defined in SLAO’s Yellow Book

  1. Be aware – show consideration
    Behave in a way that does not endanger others.
  2. Adjust your speed
    Adapt your speed and skiing style to terrain, equipment, weather and ability.
  3. Choose the correct direction
    Skiers coming from above must give way to those below.
  4. Start carefully
    Check uphill and downhill that the slope is clear before starting.
  5. Stop only where visible
    Stop only where you are clearly visible.
    If you fall, clear the slope as soon as possible.
  6. Overtake with sufficient distance
    Leave enough space for the skier you are passing.
  7. Climb up at the side of the slope
    Always walk up along the side, especially in poor visibility.
  8. Respect signs
    Signs and instructions are there for everyone’s safety.
  9. Assist in accidents
    You are required to help and provide your name and address if involved.
  10. Report to staff
    Inform staff of any hazards, obstacles or accidents.

Additional rules important for your safety and that of others:

  • Skiing with children in carriers or harnesses is not permitted.
  • Sledging is not allowed on ski slopes.
  • After closing hours, ski areas are considered workplaces and must not be used.

Failure to comply with the rules may result in your SkiPass being withdrawn.
