However, in the event of <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/sports-accidents\/attorney-for-cross-country-skiing-accidents\/\">cross-country skiing accidents<\/a>, the courts use the FIS rules as an important benchmark for assessing due diligence in the practice of cross-country skiing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fis-verhaltensregeln-fur-langlaufer\">FIS Rules of Conduct for Cross-Country Skiers<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-rucksichtnahme-auf-die-anderen\"><strong>1. Consideration for others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every cross-country skier must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm anyone else.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-signalisation-laufrichtung-und-lauftechnik\"><strong>2. Signalling, direction of travel and skiing technique<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markings and signals (signposts) must be observed. On trails and slopes, skiing must be in the specified direction and skiing technique. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-wahl-von-spur-und-piste\"><strong>3. Choice of track and slope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On double and multiple tracks, skiing must be in the right-hand track. Cross-country skiers in groups must ski one behind the other in the right-hand track. In free skiing technique, ski on the right of the slope.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-uberholen\"><strong>4. Overtaking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overtaking is permitted on the right or left. The skier in front does not need to move out of the way. However, they should move out of the way if they can do so safely.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-gegenverkehr\"><strong>5. Oncoming traffic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event of encounters, everyone must move to the right. The descending cross-country skier has priority. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-stockfuhrung\"><strong>6. Pole handling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When overtaking, being overtaken and in encounters, the poles must be held close to the body.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-anpassung-der-geschwindigkeit-an-die-verhaltnisse\"><strong>7. Adapting speed to the conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every cross-country skier must, especially on downhill stretches, adapt their speed and behaviour to their ability, the terrain conditions, the traffic density and the visibility. They must maintain a sufficient safety distance from the skier in front. If necessary, they must drop back to prevent a collision.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-freihalten-der-loipen-und-pisten\"><strong>8. Keeping the trails and slopes clear<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who stops must step out of the trail\/slope. A fallen cross-country skier must clear the trail\/slope as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-hilfeleistung\"><strong>9. Assistance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event of accidents, everyone is obliged to provide assistance.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-ausweispflicht\"><strong>10. Identification requirement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone, whether witness or involved party, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FIS Rules of Conduct The FIS rules for cross-country skiers were adopted by the International Ski Federation FIS (F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale des Ski).
