Recommandations
A few rules:
→ Cross-country ski trails are groomed, marked and safe. Access is subject to a charge and reserved for Nordic skiers.
→ You use these trails under your own responsibility: find out about weather conditions and trail closures, and don't overestimate your possibilities.
→ Respect the signs: trail directions, dangers, prohibitions, avalanche closures, etc.
→ Dogs are forbidden on cross-country ski trails.

→ Skiing outside opening hours is dangerous and prohibited (presence of grooming equipment).
