Safety guidelines

The FIS rules of conduct for cross-country skiers and the trail regulations of the German Ski Association apply on the trail.

  • Every cross-country skier must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others.
  • Marking and information signs must be observed. Pedestrians and dogs are not allowed to enter the entire width of the trail.
  • It is generally required to ski on the right track - also for groups.
  • Overtaking is allowed on the left or right; the skier in front does not have to leave the track.
  • Ski tours are to be avoided in darkness and extremely bad weather conditions.
  • When resting and catching breath, the trail must be left.


Please note:

  • Mutual assistance is a matter of course and in emergencies a duty. The trail is monitored by the mountain rescue service (emergency call 112).
  • If the trail width is sufficient, freestyle technique (skating) is allowed between the directional tracks; however, these must not be destroyed.
  • It is safe to ski in the snowplow position between the directional lanes.
  • The tracks must not be damaged while skating.
