Safety guidelines

The FIS behavior rules for cross-country skiers and the trail regulations of the German Ski Association apply on the Kammloipe.
  • Every cross-country skier must behave so as not to endanger or harm others.
  • Marking and information signs must be observed. Pedestrians and dogs are not allowed to enter the trail in its full width.
  • Running is basically to be done in the right lane - also by groups.
  • Overtaking is allowed on the left or right; the lead skier does not need to leave the lane.
  • Ski tours must be avoided in darkness and extremely bad weather conditions.
  • When resting and taking breaks, the trail must be left.


Please also note some special features of the Kammloipe:

  • The Kammloipe is a long-distance trail with oncoming traffic; it is consistently prepared with two lanes. Oncoming traffic must not be hindered.
  • Medium difficulty (II) and difficult descents (III) are marked on the trail signs with II and III respectively.
  • The ridge settlements are sometimes very far apart. Mutual assistance is therefore a matter of course and in emergencies an obligation. The trail is supervised by mountain rescue (emergency call 112) and is equipped with emergency location signs.
  • If the trail width is sufficient, skating technique (freestyle) is allowed between the directional lanes; however, these must not be damaged. The following sections are continuously prepared for skating:
    - Johanngeorgenstadt - Weitersglashütte
    - Parking lot "Am Kielfloßgraben" - Schneckenstein junction Topasfelsen
  • Skiing in the snowplow position between the lanes is safe.
  • The tracks must not be damaged when skating.
