Cross-country Skiers
- Remain on the track prepared for your skiing style (classic or skate ski) and follow the indicated direction;
- Maintain a safe distance between yourself and the skier ahead of you;
- Step off the trail if you stop or fall so that you do not hold up other skiers;
- On a single trail, signal your intention to pass another skier without being rude;
- On a double track, use the left lane to pass other skiers and remain in the right lane if you are skiing more slowly;
- On hills, start your descent only after the skier ahead of you has reached the bottom of the slope;
Be aware of other park visitors, especially near walking trails and areas for sliding.
Walkers
- When using the trails, keep to the space prepared for your activity;
- Do not walk or snowshoe on the ski trails. It's about safety and respect for the work done by the trail groomers.
Finally, be courteous to other park visitors and follow instructions given by patrol staff and by safety and prevention officers.
Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy this beautiful slice of nature in the heart of the city!
