Be prepared
Do not over exert yourself and drink plenty of water. |
| Be
properly equipped !
It is highly recommended to choose specially approved
equipment which is adapted to your technical level,
your height and your weight as well as to ensure a good
adjustment and maintenance of ski bindings. Use sunglasses
to protect yourself from the ultraviolet rays. |
Be
insured !
Before skiing, do not forget to take out an insurance
policy for the slopes.
You can acquire ski insurance at any Andorran ski station
where you buy your ski pass. The insurance must cover
the number of days of the ski pass. The rate per day is
€3.00. You can also buy insurance for the whole ski
season for € 33.00 |

map of the slopes.
Do not forget that only slopes which are open are secure
and controlled ! |

and lifts.

Control
the situation !!!
Right of way
Skiers in front of you always
have the right of way. The route your take and any overtaking
must never put others at risk !!
Respectez the kids ! |
Speed
Adjust your speed and your route according to your ability,
the visibility, the conditions of the slopes and the snow.
If there are a lot of skiers, slow down, above all on
the areas for beginners, near queues of people and at
the end of the slopes. |
Children
Use a crash helmet. |
Stops
Do not stop in the middle of the slopes nor in narrow
places and without visibility. |
Assistance
All those who witness an accident must immediately offer
their help and call the first aid people if necessary. |
Be
disciplined
Ski lifts
- Do not forget to remove your pole straps from around
your wrists.
- Do not slalom and hold the perch until arrival; otherwise
the cable might derail.
- Should you fall, let go of the perch and move out of
the way of other skiers. |
Chair
lifts
- Put your backpack in front of you.
- If you cannot board, let the chair go on.
- You must lower the safety bar to avoid falling.
- Never jump off a chair lift. |
Gondolas
- The opening and closing of the doors is automatic.
Do not try to open them and do not lean on them.
- Do not lean out or throw anything out of the windows.
Do not smoke.
- If the gondola stops, wait calmly until it continues
its route or for staff to intervene. |
Off
piste
Skiing off piste requires a good technical level, a great
understanding of the mountain and specialised equipment.
As the natural dangers of the mountain are not signposted
and there might be avalanches, be careful.
Anyway, remember that your are skiing at your own risk
entirely. |
