Considerate behaviour
A cross-country skier must ski in such a manner that he does not endanger or prejudice others.
- Respect for signs, direction and running style
Observance of the signs
Trail marking signs must be respected on any trail marked with an indicated direction. A skier shall proceed only in that indicated direction and ski in the indicated running style.
- Choice of trails and tracks
Obligation to drive on the right also on the cross-country ski tracks
On cross-country trails with more than one packed track, a skier should choose the right-hand track. Skiers in groups must keep in the right track behind each other. With free running style, skiers shall keep to their right-hand-side of the trail.
- Overtaking
Overtake cross-country skiers with care
A skier is permitted to overtake and pass another skier to the left or right. A skier ahead is not obliged to give way to an overtaking skier, but should allow a faster skier to pass whenever this is possible.
- Encounter
Give way and priority
Cross-country skiers meeting while skiing opposite directions shall keep to their right. A descending skier has priority.
- Poles
Guide sticks near your body
A cross-country skier shall make the utmost effort to keep his poles close to his body when near another skier.
- Control of speed
Assessing the pace appropriately
A cross-country skier, and especially going downhill, shall always adapt his speed to his personal ability and to the prevailing terrain and visibility and to the traffic on the course. Every skier should keep a safe distance from the skiers ahead. As a last resort, an intentional fall should be used to avoid collision.
- Keeping trails and tracks clear
Avoid accidents
A skier who stops must leave the trail. In case of a fall, he shall clear the trail without delay.
- Accident

In case of an accident, everyone should render assistance.
