Safety skiing

Security, so that skiing remains a pleasure :

• Helmet – a basic accessory for the whole family.
• Make sure your children wear protective goggles or sunglasses (index 4).
• Check that you are correctly insured.
• Study the map of the pistes and check opening and closing times. If in any doubt, ask ski patrolmen, ski rescuers, instructors or guides.
• Drink plenty of water, and eat, with the cold and effort you burn more calories.
• Do warming up exercises. The mountain is sport!
• Check and adjust your bindings. It's essential, in the case of a fall, to limit the effects of a sprained knee, before putting your skis on, remove the snow between your boots and skis.

On the slopes:
• Check your speed.
• And make sure to look above and below you.
