There’s nothing more essential than correct health and safety. Always plan ahead, always respect the mountain.
Whenever you’re on the mountain, you are primarily responsible for your health and safety. Be vigilant, be cautious and never endanger other piste users. Never undertake anything beyond your skill level and ensure you are following resort rules at all times.
Before you travel you should make sure you have read and understood the mountain safety information. This will provide you with essential knowledge in the unlikely event of an accident.
While the fundamentals of good mountain etiquette remain the same everywhere, it is always a good idea to read and understand the specific rules for your resort.

We require you to wear appropriate mountain and safety gear during any lesson, but certain activities require specialist gear. Always make sure you’ve checked the appropriate lesson page to see if anything extra is needed.
It is essential that you listen to your coach at all times, always convey your level of skill accurately and respect other mountain users.
Our coaches have expert knowledge of the local area and will always make you aware of hazards where they observe them, so pay close attention and never take any unnecessary risks!Â
While we will always do our best to safeguard you, ultimately accidents can occur when participating in snowsports.
It is of the utmost importance that you are insured while you are on the mountain. This is not just to cover you in the event of an accident, but also for other unforeseen circumstances such as lift closure or adverse weather conditions preventing piste access.
