Rules and safety on the slopes
Helmet, compulsory insurance, rules of conduct and what to do in case of an accident on the Civetta slopes.
Since 1 January 2022 Italy applies legislative decree 40/2021 on safety in winter sports. On the Civetta slopes:
- Helmet compulsory for everyone under 18, on skis and snowboard.
- Third-party liability insurance compulsory for everyone: buy it with your ski pass, online or at the ticket office, or use your own policy.
- No skiing under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Duty to help and to report accidents.
- Appropriate speed and line: the uphill skier must choose a line that does not endanger those below; overtake at a safe distance; stop only at the edge of the piste.
- Off-piste at your own risk: ungroomed areas are neither checked nor protected.
In case of an accident
Call 112 or ask the lift staff: every access point has a piste rescue service. Note the name of the run and the number of the nearest pylon.
Closures and alerts
Wind, snow, maintenance or races can close slopes and lifts: the current status is on Open lifts and slopes and today's notices on Alerts.
