Skiers safety rules

At Sjusjøen Skisenter we focus on security for all guests and it is important that you also take responsibility for yourselves and other guests. You will find our rules here. These rules are applicable for national and international alpine resorts.  

  1. Use helmet! You have only one valuable head
  2. All activity outside marked, secured and groomed pistes is at your own risk
  3. Alpine skiing is associated with some risk. Drugs and skiing does not go together. Violation of slope etiquette can result in expulsion from the facility.  

IT IS PROHIBITED TO RESIDE IN THE SKI RESORT OUTSIDE OPENING HOURS. THIS COULD LEAD TO FATAL INJURY AS CONSTRUCTION WORKERS START SNOW PRODUCTION AND SLOPE PREPARATION WITHOUT WARNING.
